Probing the co-evolution of SMBHs and their hosts from scaling relations pairwise residuals: dominance of stellar velocity dispersion and host halo mass
Francesco Shankar, Mariangela Bernardi, Daniel Roberts +17
The correlations between Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies still defy our understanding from both the observational and theoretical perspectives. Here we per…
An Eddington ratio-driven origin for the relation in quiescent and star forming active galaxies
Rosamaria Carraro, Francesco Shankar, Viola Allevato +5
A mild correlation exists in active galaxies between the mean black hole accretion, as traced by the mean X-ray luminosity , and the host galaxy stell…
Using Unreal Engine to Visualize a Cosmological Volume
Christopher Marsden, Francesco Shankar
In this work we present `Astera', a cosmological visualization tool that renders a mock universe in real time using Unreal Engine 4. The large scale structure of the cosmic web is…
The case for the fundamental - relation
Christopher Marsden, Francesco Shankar, Michele Ginolfi +1
Strong scaling relations between host galaxy properties (such as stellar mass, bulge mass, luminosity, effective radius etc) and their nuclear supermassive black hole's mass point…
Probing black hole accretion tracks, scaling relations and radiative efficiencies from stacked X-ray active galactic nuclei
Francesco Shankar, David H. Weinberg, Christopher Marsden +25
The masses of supermassive black holes at the centres of local galaxies appear to be tightly correlated with the mass and velocity dispersions of their galactic hosts. However, the…
Constraining black hole-galaxy scaling relations from the large-scale clustering of Active Galactic Nuclei and implied mean radiative efficiency
Francesco Shankar, Viola Allevato, Mariangela Bernardi +11
A supermassive black hole has been found at the centre of nearly every galaxy observed with sufficient sensitivity. The masses of these black holes are observed to increase with ei…
