Supermassive black hole fueling in IllustrisTNG: Impact of environment
Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, July Thomas
We study the association between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and environment at scales of Mpc in the IllustrisTNG (TNG100) simulated universe. We identify supermas…

Massive black hole binary inspiral and spin evolution in a cosmological framework
Mohammad Sayeb, Laura Blecha, Luke Zoltan Kelley +3
Massive black hole (MBH) binary inspiral time scales are uncertain, and their spins are even more poorly constrained. Spin misalignment, along with unequal mass ratios and spin mag…
