Dynamics and spin alignment in massive, gravito-turbulent circumbinary discs around supermassive black hole binaries

Martin A. Bourne, Davide Fiacconi, Debora Sijacki +2

Parsec-scale separation supermassive black hole binaries in the centre of gas-rich galaxy merger remnants could be surrounded by massive circumbinary discs (CBDs). Black hole mass…

Stellar and Weak Lensing Profiles of Massive Galaxies in the Hyper-Suprime Cam Survey and in Hydrodynamic Simulations

Felipe Ardila, Song Huang, Alexie Leauthaud +11

We perform a consistent comparison of the mass and mass profiles of massive () central galaxies at z~0.4 from deep Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) observation…

Galactic nuclei evolution with spinning black holes: method and implementation

Davide Fiacconi, Debora Sijacki, J. E. Pringle

Supermassive black holes at the centre of galactic nuclei mostly grow in mass through gas accretion over cosmic time. This process also modifies the angular momentum (or spin) of b…

Constraining the mass of accreting black holes in ultraluminous X-ray sources with ultrafast outflows

Davide Fiacconi, Ciro Pinto, Dominic J. Walton +1

The nature of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) -- off-nuclear extra-galactic sources with luminosity, assumed isotropic, erg s -- is still debated. One p…

Young and turbulent: the early life of massive galaxy progenitors

Davide Fiacconi, Lucio Mayer, Piero Madau +3

We present results from the "Ponos" simulation suite on the early evolution of a massive, M galaxy. At , before feedback f…
