Running Late: Testing Delayed Supermassive Black Hole Growth Models Against the Quasar Luminosity Function
Megan Taylor Tillman, Sarah Wellons, Claude-André Faucher-Giguère +2
Observations of massive galaxies at low redshift have revealed approximately linear scaling relations between the mass of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and properties of its hos…
Why do Black Holes Trace Bulges (& Central Surface Densities), Instead of Galaxies as a Whole?
Philip F. Hopkins, Sarah Wellons, Daniel Angles-Alcazar +2
Previous studies of fueling black holes (BHs) in galactic nuclei have argued (on scales ~0.01-1000pc) accretion is dynamical with inflow rates $\dot{M}\simη\,M_{\rm gas}/t_{\rm dyn…
Which AGN Jets Quench Star Formation in Massive Galaxies?
Kung-Yi Su, Philip F. Hopkins, Greg L. Bryan +12
Without additional heating, radiative cooling of gas in the halos of massive galaxies (Milky Way and above) produces cold gas or stars in excess of that observed. Previous work sug…
