The Effects of Ram-pressure Stripping and Supernova Winds on the Tidal Stirring of Disky Dwarfs: Enhanced Transformation into Dwarf Spheroidals
Stelios Kazantzidis, Lucio Mayer, Simone Callegari +2
A conclusive model for the formation of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies still remains elusive. Owing to their proximity to the massive spirals Milky Way (MW) and M31, various envi…
A stable finite-difference scheme for growth and diffusion on a map
W. P. Petersen, S. Callegari, N. Tkachenko +2
We describe a general Godunov type splitting for numerical simulations of the Fisher/Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov growth and diffusion equation in two spatial dimensions. In parti…
Inside Out and Upside Down: Tracing the Assembly of a Simulated Disk Galaxy Using Mono-Age Stellar Populations
Jonathan C. Bird, Stelios Kazantzidis, David H. Weinberg +4
We analyze the present-day structure and assembly history of a high resolution hydrodynamic simulation of the formation of a Milky Way (MW)-like disk galaxy, from the "Eris" simula…
Massive black hole seeds born via direct gas collapse in galaxy mergers: their properties, statistics and environment
Silvia Bonoli, Lucio Mayer, Simone Callegari
We study the statistics and cosmic evolution of massive black hole seeds formed during major mergers of gas-rich late-type galaxies. Generalizing the results of the hydro-simulatio…
Formation and Hardening of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Minor Mergers of Disk Galaxies
Fazeel Mahmood Khan, Ingo Berentzen, Peter Berczik +4
We model for the first time the complete orbital evolution of a pair of Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) in a 1:10 galaxy merger of two disk dominated gas-rich galaxies, from the s…
Observability of Dual Active Galactic Nuclei in Merging Galaxies
Sandor Van Wassenhove, Marta Volonteri, Lucio Mayer +3
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been detected in the centers of most nearby massive galaxies. Galaxies today are the products of billions of years of galaxy mergers, but also…
