QSFit: Automatic analysis of optical AGN spectra
G. Calderone, L. Nicastro, G. Ghisellini +4
We present QSFit, a new software package to automatically perform the analysis of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) optical spectra. The software provides luminosity estimates for the A…
Shocks and angular momentum flips: a different path to feeding the nuclear regions of merging galaxies
Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti
We study the dynamics of galaxy mergers, with emphasis on the gas feeding of nuclear regions, using a suite of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy encounters. The high spatial and…
A survey of dual active galactic nuclei in simulations of galaxy mergers: frequency and properties
Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti, Marta Volonteri +3
We investigate the simultaneous triggering of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in merging galaxies, using a large suite of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations. We compute dual-A…
Young and turbulent: the early life of massive galaxy progenitors
Davide Fiacconi, Lucio Mayer, Piero Madau +3
We present results from the "Ponos" simulation suite on the early evolution of a massive, M galaxy. At , before feedback f…
Bar-driven evolution and quenching of spiral galaxies in cosmological simulations
Daniele Spinoso, Silvia Bonoli, Massimo Dotti +3
We analyse the output of the hi-res cosmological zoom-in simulation ErisBH to study self-consistently the formation of a strong stellar bar in a Milky Way-type galaxy and its effec…
Brownian motion of massive black hole binaries and the final parsec problem
E. Bortolas, A. Gualandris, M. Dotti +2
Massive black hole binaries (BHBs) are expected to be one of the most powerful sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the frequency range of the pulsar timing array and of forthco…
