Barred galaxies in cosmological zoom-in simulations: the importance of feedback
Tommaso Zana, Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti +5
Bars are a key factor in the long-term evolution of spiral galaxies, in their unique role in redistributing angular momentum and transporting gas and stars on large scales. The Eri…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
On the orientation of Narrow Line Seyfert I
Tullia Sbarrato, Massimo Dotti, Giancarlo Ghirlanda +1
We study a sample of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1) in their optical and radio features, in order to understand the differences between their radio silent, radio-loud and ra…
Bar resilience to flybys in a cosmological framework
Tommaso Zana, Massimo Dotti, Pedro R. Capelo +4
It has been proposed that close interactions with satellite galaxies can significantly perturb the morphology of the main galaxy. However, the dynamics of an already formed bar fol…
Probing black hole accretion in quasar pairs at high redshift
C. Vignali, E. Piconcelli, M. Perna +6
Models and observations suggest that luminous quasar activity is triggered by mergers, so it should preferentially occur in the most massive primordial dark matter haloes, where th…
AGN mass estimates in large spectroscopic surveys: the effect of host galaxy light
Ludovica Varisco, Tullia Sbarrato, Giorgio Calderone +1
Virial-based methods for estimating active supermassive black hole masses are now commonly used on extremely large spectroscopic quasar catalogues. Most spectral analyses, though,…
