Morphological evolution of supermassive black hole merger hosts and multimessenger signatures

Colin DeGraf, Debora Sijacki, Tiziana Di Matteo +3

With projects such as Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and Pulsar Timing Arrays expected to detect gravitational waves from supermassive black hole mergers in the near fut…

Unraveling the origin of magnetic fields in galaxies

Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Harley Katz, Debora Sijacki +2

Despite their ubiquity, there are many open questions regarding galactic and cosmic magnetic fields. Specifically, current observational constraints cannot rule out if magnetic fie…

Blandford-Znajek jets in galaxy formation simulations: method and implementation

Rosie Y. Talbot, Martin A. Bourne, Debora Sijacki

Jets launched by active galactic nuclei (AGN) are believed to play a significant role in shaping the properties of galaxies and provide an energetically viable mechanism through wh…

AGN jet feedback on a moving mesh: gentle cluster heating by weak shocks and lobe disruption

Martin A. Bourne, Debora Sijacki

While there is overwhelming observational evidence of AGN-driven jets in galaxy clusters and groups, if and how the jet energy is delivered to the ambient medium remains unanswered…

A little FABLE: exploring AGN feedback in dwarf galaxies with cosmological simulations

Sophie Koudmani, Nicholas A. Henden, Debora Sijacki

Contrary to the standard lore, there is mounting observational evidence that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) may also play a role at the low-mass end of the galaxy popul…

Resolving shocks and filaments in galaxy formation simulations: effects on gas properties and star formation in the circumgalactic medium

Jake S. Bennett, Debora Sijacki

There is an emerging consensus that large amounts of gas do not shock heat in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of massive galaxies, but instead pierce deep into haloes from the cosm…
