SEEDZ: Rapid Galaxy Assembly as a Pathway to Supermassive Stars, Dense Stellar Environments and Massive Black Hole Seeds
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +14
We investigate the assembly history of early galaxies in the SEEDZ hydrodynamic simulations, to investigate the high inflow rates believed to be required for the formation of super…
Black Hole Feedback, Galaxy Quenching and Outflows at Cosmic Dawn: Analysis of the SEEDZ Simulations
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we analyse the growth and feedback effects of massive black holes (MBHs) in the SEEDZ simulations. The most massive black holes grow to masses of M by $z=…
The LISA Astrophysics MBHcatalogues Project: A comparison of predictions of simulated massive black hole binaries
David Izquierdo-Villalba, Melanie Habouzit, Matteo Bonetti +67
In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the…
The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ…
Predicting the number density of heavy seed massive black holes due to an intense Lyman-Werner field
Hannah O'Brennan, John A. Regan, John Brennan +5
The recent detections of a large number of candidate active galactic nuclei at high redshift (i.e. ) has increased speculation that heavy seed massive black hole forma…
A Heavy Seed Black Hole Mass Function at High Redshift -- Prospects for LISA
Joe McCaffrey, John Regan, Britton Smith +3
The advent of new and near-future observatories probing the earliest epochs of the Universe has opened the opportunity to investigate the formation and growth of the first massive…
