Collisional Dark Matter and the Origin of Massive Black Holes

Jeremiah P. Ostriker

If the cosmological dark matter is primarily in the form of an elementary particle which has cross section and mass for self-interaction having a ratio similar to that of ordinary…

Cooling flows and quasars: II. Detailed models of feedback modulated accretion flows

L. Ciotti, J. P. Ostriker

Most elliptical galaxies contain central black holes (BHs), and most also contain significant amounts of hot gas capable of accreting on to the central BH due to cooling times shor…

A Semi-Analytic Model for Cosmological Reheating and Reionization Due to the Gravitational Collapse of Structure

Weihsueh A. Chiu, Jeremiah P. Ostriker

We present a semi-analytic model for the thermal and ionization history of the universe at 1000 >~ z >~ 3. This model incorporates much of the essential physics included in full-sc…

The Santa Barbara cluster comparison project: a comparison of cosmological hydrodynamics solutions

C. S. Frenk, S. D. M. White, P. Bode +22

We have simulated the formation of an X-ray cluster in a cold dark matter universe using 12 different codes. The codes span the range of numerical techniques and implementations cu…
