Tracing black hole and galaxy growth across environments since cosmic noon

Emma Jane Weller, Priyamvada Natarajan, Colin J. Burke +1

The distribution of systems in the black hole (BH) mass-stellar mass () plane encodes both the integrated growth of galaxies and their central black holes, a…

The black hole occupation fraction as a fossil record of seeding, dynamics, and galaxy assembly

Emma Jane Weller, Priyamvada Natarajan, Colin J. Burke

The black hole occupation fraction (BHOF) is a powerful but intrinsically layered diagnostic of massive black hole (BH) seeding and subsequent galaxy assembly. We measure the total…

The Perpendicularity of Dust Lanes and Radio Jets in Early-Type Galaxies: Implications for AGN Feedback

Emma Jane Weller, Pieter van Dokkum

The orientation of radio jets relative to their host galaxies offers an interesting avenue for probing the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their surroundings. S…

Dynamics of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes Wandering in the Milky Way Galaxy Using the Illustris TNG50 Simulation

Emma Jane Weller, Fabio Pacucci, Lars Hernquist +1

The detection of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) in dwarf galaxies is crucial to closing the gap in the wide mass distribution of black holes ( to $\…
