The role of black hole feedback on galaxy star formation and the degeneracy with halo quenching
Hao Fu, Francesco Shankar, Feng Yuan +9
The interplay between the accretion of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the stellar mass growth of the host galaxies is still a matter of hot debate. The accretion of the SMBHs…
Characterizing the roles of transitory obscured phases and inner torus in shaping the fractions of obscured AGN at cosmic noon
Alba V. Alonso-Tetilla, Francesco Shankar, Fabio Fontanot +11
The origin of obscuration in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is still a matter of contention. It is unclear whether obscured AGN are primarily due to line-of-sight effects, a transito…
Semi-empirical Framework of Supermassive Black Hole Evolution: Highlighting a possible tension between Demographics and Gravitational Wave Background
Andrea Lapi, Francesco Shankar, Michele Bosi +4
The evolution of the supermassive Black Hole (BH) population across cosmic times remains a central unresolved issue in modern astrophysics, due to the many noticeable uncertainties…
Shedding light on the star formation rate-halo accretion rate connection and halo quenching mechanism via DECODE, the Discrete statistical sEmi-empiriCal mODEl
Hao Fu, Lumen Boco, Francesco Shankar +9
Aims: The relative roles of the physical mechanisms involved in quenching galaxy star formation are still unclear. We tackle this fundamental problem with our cosmological semi-emp…
Semi-empirical Models of Galaxy Formation and Evolution
Andrea Lapi, Lumen Boco, Francesco Shankar
We provide a review on semi-empirical models of galaxy formation and evolution. We present a brief census of the three main modeling approaches to galaxy evolution, namely hydrodyn…
Investigating the effects of fresh gas on the Active Galactic Nuclei luminosity of early- and late-type galaxies
Martyna W. Winiarska, Sandra I. Raimundo, Timothy A. Davis +3
The main fuelling processes for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are currently unknown. Previous work showed that galaxies with a large kinematic misalignment between their stellar and…
