Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers at High Redshift: Predictions for LISA and LGWA from SEEDZ

Daxal H. Mehta, Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan +13

We investigate the hierarchical assembly of black holes (BHs) in the early Universe using the next-generation SEEDZ cosmological zoom-in simulations. Our suite follows two independ…

The relationship between morphology, density, and location in the cosmic web from massive to dwarf galaxies

Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Aaron E. Watkins +5

We study how morphology relates to environment from massive to dwarf galaxies using, for the first time, a mass-complete sample of ~13,000 galaxies, in the stellar-mass and redshif…

How to raise a supermassive black hole: interpreting early JWST AGN with the AESOPICA simulations

Sophie Koudmani, Jan Scholtz, Anthony J. Taylor +11

The active black holes uncovered by JWST in the early Universe are highly abundant and seemingly overmassive with respect to local scaling relations, challenging standard models of…

Global trends in morphology from massive to dwarf galaxies

Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Christopher J. Conselice +7

The morphological properties of dwarf galaxies (Mstar < 10^9.5 MSun) remain largely unexplored, particularly outside the local neighbourhood. We explore how morphology changes acro…

SEEDZ: Rapid Galaxy Assembly as a Pathway to Supermassive Stars, Dense Stellar Environments and Massive Black Hole Seeds

Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +14

We investigate the assembly history of early galaxies in the SEEDZ hydrodynamic simulations, to investigate the high inflow rates believed to be required for the formation of super…

ArkenstoneBH. A model for high-specific energy black hole feedback in cosmological simulations

James M. Sullivan, Greg L. Bryan, Matthew C. Smith +6

AGN feedback is a key piece of galaxy evolution but is difficult to model due to its high specific energies, multiphase nature, and limited simulation resolutions. Arkenstone is a…

The Cliff: A Metal-Poor Little Red Dot Hosting an Overmassive Black Hole at

Lucy R. Ivey, Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino +18

JWST has revealed a large population of massive black holes (BHs) in the early Universe with unusual properties which mark them as distinct from low-redshift active galactic nuclei…

Introducing sapphire: Towards Hybrid Physics-Informed, Data-Driven Modeling of Galaxy Formation

Viraj Pandya, Greg L. Bryan, T. Lucas Makinen +18

Semi-analytic models (SAMs) have been treating galaxy populations as dynamical systems for years, but their evolution equations remain poorly constrained. We introduce…

Small hosts, big appetites: unveiling rapid and early low-mass black hole growth in cosmological zoom-in simulations of dwarf galaxies

Giulia Ortame, Martin A. Bourne, Sophie Koudmani +3

Dwarf galaxies are ideal laboratories to probe the interplay between galaxy formation and the growth of black holes (BHs) in the early Universe. Mounting observational evidence rev…

Downsizing does not extend to dwarf galaxies: identifying the stellar mass regimes shaped by supernova and AGN feedback

Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Garreth Martin +10

We explore how the fraction of red (quenched) galaxies varies in the dwarf galaxy regime (10^7 MSun < Mstar < 10^9.5 MSun), using a mass-complete sample of ~5900 dwarfs at z<0.15,…

Multi-wavelength morphology and dust emission in low-redshift dwarf galaxies in COSMOS-Web with HST and JWST

D. Kakkad, I. Lazar, S. Harish +18

Low-mass or dwarf galaxies (M M) are abundant in the Universe, yet their formation and evolution remain poorly understood. Their enhanced sensitivity to fe…

Black Hole Feedback, Galaxy Quenching and Outflows at Cosmic Dawn: Analysis of the SEEDZ Simulations

Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13

Here we analyse the growth and feedback effects of massive black holes (MBHs) in the SEEDZ simulations. The most massive black holes grow to masses of M by $z=…
