Dual AGN in the Horizon-AGN simulation and their link to galaxy and massive black hole mergers, with an excursus on multiple AGN
Marta Volonteri, Hugo Pfister, Ricarda Beckmann +5
The occurrence of dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) on scales of a few tens of kpc can be used to study merger-induced accretion on massive black holes (MBHs) and to derive clues o…
The origins of massive black holes
Marta Volonteri, Melanie Habouzit, Monica Colpi
Massive black holes (MBHs) inhabit galaxy centers, power luminous quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and shape their cosmic environment with the energy they produce. The orig…
High-redshift quasars and their host galaxies II: multiphase gas and stellar kinematics
Alessandro Lupi, Marta Volonteri, Roberto Decarli +2
Observations of quasars provide information on the early phases of the most massive black holes (MBHs) and galaxies. Current observations at sub-mm wavelengths trace…
The NewHorizon Simulation -- To Bar Or Not To Bar
J. Reddish, K. Kraljic, M. S. Petersen +12
We use the NewHorizon simulation to study the redshift evolution of bar properties and fractions within galaxies in the stellar masses range $M_{\star} = 10^{7.25} - 10^{11.4} \ \r…
Trinity I: Self-Consistently Modeling the Dark Matter Halo-Galaxy-Supermassive Black Hole Connection from
Haowen Zhang, Peter Behroozi, Marta Volonteri +5
We present Trinity, a flexible empirical model that self-consistently infers the statistical connection between dark matter haloes, galaxies, and supermassive black holes (SMBHs).…
Forming massive seed black holes in high-redshift quasar host progenitors
Alessandro Lupi, Zoltan Haiman, Marta Volonteri
The presence of massive black holes (BHs) with masses of order , powering bright quasars when the Universe was less than 1 Gyr old, poses strong constraints on t…
