How to raise a supermassive black hole: interpreting early JWST AGN with the AESOPICA simulations

Sophie Koudmani, Jan Scholtz, Anthony J. Taylor +11

The active black holes uncovered by JWST in the early Universe are highly abundant and seemingly overmassive with respect to local scaling relations, challenging standard models of…

Outflows in super-Eddington quasars drive clumpy circumgalactic medium and extended H nebulae at

Lucas Tortora, Tiago Costa, Debora Sijacki +1

The discovery of gargantuan black holes with masses exceeding a billion solar masses at suggests rapid black hole growth and significant energy input into their host ga…

The Azahar Project: Non-Thermal Physics Drives Star Formation Burstiness and the Evolution of the UV Luminosity Density at Cosmic Dawn

Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Risa H. Wechsler, Debora Sijacki

JWST observations, which have pushed the discovery and characterization of galaxies to cosmic dawn, have revealed significant deficiencies in state-of-the-art galaxy formation simu…

Comparing gravitational wave background predictions from cosmological simulations to pulsar timing observations

Stephanie Buttigieg, Debora Sijacki, Christopher J. Moore +2

The recent detection of a gravitational wave background (GWB) by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) may represent the first evidence of gravitational waves from merging supermassive black…

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…

The birth of the intracluster medium: the evolution of multiphase gas and Lyman- haloes in a simulated protocluster

Jake S. Bennett, Aaron Smith, Fabrizio Arrigoni-Battaia +3

Galactic haloes host a complex, multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM), and at high redshift are fed by cold, filamentary inflows. In contrast, mature galaxy clusters are dominated…
