Winds Against Alignment: AGN Feedback and the Spin Evolution of Massive Black Hole Binaries

Francesco Bollati, Marta Volonteri, Alessandro Lupi +2

The interaction between massive black hole (MBH) binaries and circumbinary discs (CBDs) affects the spin orientations of merging binaries - a key observable for the future LISA mis…

Modeling Multiphase Galactic Outflows: A Multifluid Moving Mesh Approach

Francesco Bollati, Rainer Weinberger

Outflows are a key part of the galactic gas cycle and crucial in shaping the star formation activity in their host galaxy. Yet, in simulations of galaxy evolution, modeling these o…

BANG-MaNGA: A census of kinematic discs and bulges across mass and star formation in the local Universe

Fabio Rigamonti, Luca Cortese, Francesco Bollati +4

We investigate the relevance of kinematically identified bulges, discs and their role relative to galaxy quenching. We utilize an analysis of the SDSS-MaNGA survey conducted with t…

Partial alignment between jets and megamasers: Coherent versus selective accretion

Massimo Dotti, Riccardo Buscicchio, Francesco Bollati +3

Spins play a crucial role in the appearance, evolution, and occupation fraction of massive black holes (MBHs). To date, observational estimates of MBH spins are scarce, and the ass…

On the connection between AGN radiative feedback and massive black hole spin

Francesco Bollati, Alessandro Lupi, Massimo Dotti +1

We present a novel implementation for active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback through ultra-fast winds in the code gizmo. Our feedback recipe accounts for the angular dependence of…

Kinematics signature of a giant planet in the disk of AS 209

D. Fedele, F. Bollati, G. Lodato

[abridged] ALMA observations of dust in protoplanetary disks are revealing the existence of sub-structures such as rings, gaps and cavities. Such morphology are expected to be the…

Dynamical evolution of massive black hole pairs in the presence of spin-dependent radiative feedback

Francesco Bollati, Alessandro Lupi, Massimo Dotti +1

The putative ubiquity of massive black holes (MBH) at the center of galaxies, and the hierarchical progress of structure formation along the cosmic history, together necessarily im…

Mapping the Planetary Wake in HD 163296 with Kinematics

Josh Calcino, Thomas Hilder, Daniel J. Price +4

We map the planetary wake associated with the embedded protoplanet creating the CO kink in the disk of HD~163296. We show that the wake can be traced by a series of correlated pert…

The theory of kinks -- I. A semi-analytic model of velocity perturbations due to planet-disc interaction

Francesco Bollati, Giuseppe Lodato, Daniel J. Price +1

A new technique to detect protoplanets is by observing the kinematics of the surrounding gas. Gravitational perturbations from a planet produce peculiar `kinks' in channel maps of…
