A Semi-Analytic Model for the Co-evolution of Galaxies, Black Holes, and Active Galactic Nuclei
Rachel S. Somerville, Philip F. Hopkins, Thomas J. Cox +2
We present a new semi-analytic model that self-consistently traces the growth of supermassive black holes (BH) and their host galaxies within the context of the LCDM cosmological f…
On the Origin of Dynamically Cold Rings Around the Milky Way
Joshua D. Younger, Gurtina Besla, T. J. Cox +3
We present a scenario for the production of dynamically cold rings around the Milky Way via a high-eccentricity, flyby encounter. These initial conditions are more cosmologically m…
The Stellar Content of Galaxy Halos: A Comparison between LambdaCDM Models and Observations of M31
Andreea S. Font, Kathryn V. Johnston, Annette M. N. Ferguson +4
Recent observations have revealed that high surface-brightness, metal-rich debris is present over large regions of the Andromeda (M31) stellar halo. We use a set of numerical model…
Molecular Hydrogen and Global Star Formation Relations in Galaxies
Brant Robertson, Andrey Kravtsov
(ABRIDGED) We use hydrodynamical simulations of disk galaxies to study relations between star formation and properties of the molecular interstellar medium (ISM). We implement a mo…
The Role of Galactic Winds on Molecular Gas Emission from Galaxy Mergers
Desika Narayanan, T. J. Cox, Brandon Kelly +7
We assess the impact of starburst and AGN feedback-driven winds on the CO emission from galaxy mergers, and, in particular, search for signatures of these winds in the simulated CO…
An Observed Fundamental Plane Relation for Supermassive Black Holes
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +2
We study observed correlations between supermassive black hole (BHs) and the properties of their host galaxies, and show that the observations define a BH 'fundamental plane' (BHFP…
