Set them free: extending RAMCOAL to model massive black hole triplets in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies

Kunyang Li, Ricarda S. Beckmann, Yohan Dubois +1

Massive black hole binaries (MBHBs), and the higher-order multiples produced by repeated galaxy mergers, spend part of their lives in dynamical regimes that cosmological simulation…

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…

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=…

Massive black holes and their galaxies

Ricarda S. Beckmann, Rebecca J. Smethurst

Almost every galaxy in the local Universe is observed to have a massive black hole in the centre. The properties of these black holes are observed to tightly correlate with those o…

The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth

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

Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ…

The multimessenger view of Pulsar Timing Array black holes with the Horizon-AGN simulation

Hippolyte Quelquejay Leclere, Kunyang Li, Marta Volonteri +5

We use the Horizon-AGN cosmological simulation to study the properties of supermassive black hole binaries (MBHBs) contributing most to the gravitational wave background (GWB) sign…
