Chaotic accretion can (still) explain early supermassive black hole growth

Kastytis Zubovas, Matas Tartėnas

The origin of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is still debated, with hypotheses ranging from massive seeds to super-Eddington growth to chaotic accretion. Recent discoveries of ve…

MIRACLE III. JWST/MIRI expose the hidden role of the AGN outflow in NGC 1068

C. Marconcini, A. Marconi, M. Ceci +27

We present new JWST IFS observations of the active galaxy NGC 1068, combining Mid-IR and optical IFS data from MIRI and MUSE to characterize the multi-phase circumnuclear gas prope…

The complex effect of gas cooling and turbulence on AGN-driven outflow properties

K. Zubovas, M. Tartėnas, M. A. Bourne

(abridged) Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at close to the Eddington rate can influence the host galaxy via powerful winds. Theoretical models of such winds can exp…

Improving Black Hole Accretion Treatment in Hydrodynamical Simulations

Matas Tartėnas, Kastytis Zubovas

The large galactic scales are connected to the many orders of magnitude smaller supermassive black hole (SMBH) scales by an episodic cycle of feeding and feedback. Active galactic…

Feeding of active galactic nuclei by dynamical perturbations

M. Tartėnas, K. Zubovas

There possibly was an AGN episode in the Galactic Centre about 6 Myr ago, powerful enough to produce the Fermi bubbles. We present numerical simulations of a possible scenario givi…
