The Sinking Statistics of Dark Matter Subhalos Across Hierarchical Levels

Wenkang Jiang, Jiaxin Han, Kun Xu +6

We investigate the mergers among subhalos in a CDM simulation, focusing on two fundamental aspects overlooked by previous studies: 1) how to identify mergers robustly; 2) the st…

Not all cores are equal: Phase-space origins of dynamical friction, stalling and buoyancy

Shashank Dattathri, Frank C. van den Bosch, Uddipan Banik +4

Dynamical friction governs the orbital decay of massive perturbers within galaxies and dark matter halos, yet its standard Chandrasekhar formulation fails in systems with cores of…

Overmassive Black holes live in compact galaxies in the early Universe

Yuxuan Wu, Tao Wang, Daizhong Liu +9

A significant population of quasars have been found to exist within the first Gyr of cosmic time. Most of them have high black hole (BH) masses ($M_{\rm BH} \sim 10^{8-10} M_{\odot…

Growth of Massive Black-Holes in FFB Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn

Avishai Dekel, Nicholas C. Stone, Dhruba Dutta Chowdhury +4

The scenario of feedback-free starbursts (FFB), which predicts excessively bright galaxies at cosmic dawn as observed using JWST, may provide a natural setting for black hole (BH)…
