RABBITS - III. Modelling relativistic accretion discs around spinning black holes in galaxy formation simulations

Dimitrios Irodotou, Shihong Liao, Theodoros Nakas +6

In this third study of the 'Resolving supermAssive Black hole Binaries In galacTic hydrodynamical Simulations' (RABBITS) series we develop and implement a geometrically thin relati…

The formation, evolution and disruption of star clusters with improved gravitational dynamics in simulated dwarf galaxies

Natalia Lahén, Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab +3

So far, even the highest resolution galaxy formation simulations with gravitational softening have failed to reproduce realistic life cycles of star clusters. We present the first…

The importance of nuclear star clusters for massive black hole growth and nuclear star formation in simulated low-mass galaxies

Christian Partmann, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén +5

Observed low-mass galaxies with nuclear star clusters (NSCs) can host accreting massive black holes (MBH). We present simulations of dwarf galaxies ($M_{\mathrm{baryon}} \sim 0.6 -…

The masses, structure and lifetimes of cold clouds in a high-resolution simulation of a low metallicity starburst

Constantina M. Fotopoulou, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén +6

We present an analysis of the cold gas phase in a low metallicity starburst generated in a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of a gas-rich dwarf galaxy merger as part of th…

RABBITS -- I. The crucial role of nuclear star formation in driving the coalescence of supermassive black hole binaries

Shihong Liao, Dimitrios Irodotou, Peter H. Johansson +5

In this study of the `Resolving supermAssive Black hole Binaries In galacTic hydrodynamical Simulations' (RABBITS) series, we focus on the hardening and coalescing process of super…

RABBITS -- II. The impact of AGN feedback on coalescing supermassive black holes in disc and elliptical galaxy mergers

Shihong Liao, Dimitrios Irodotou, Peter H. Johansson +5

In this study of the `Resolving supermAssive Black hole Binaries In galacTic hydrodynamical Simulations' (RABBITS) series, we investigate the orbital evolution of supermassive blac…

Formation of star clusters and enrichment by massive stars in simulations of low-metallicity galaxies with a fully sampled initial stellar mass function

Natalia Lahén, Thorsten Naab, Guinevere Kauffmann +6

We present new GRIFFIN project hydrodynamical simulations that model the formation of galactic star cluster populations in low-metallicity () dwarf galaxies, including r…

The challenge of simulating the star cluster population of dwarf galaxies with resolved interstellar medium

Jessica M. Hislop, Thorsten Naab, Ulrich P. Steinwandel +4

We present results on the star cluster properties from a series of high resolution smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies as part of the GRIF…

Morphological evolution and galactic sizes in the L-Galaxies SA model

Dimitrios Irodotou, Peter A. Thomas, Bruno M. Henriques +2

In this work we update the L-Galaxies semi-analytic model (SAM) to better follow the physical processes responsible for the growth of bulges via disc instabilities (leading to pseu…
