The Impact of Enhanced Halo Resolution on the Simulated Circumgalactic Medium
Cameron B. Hummels, Britton D. Smith, Philip F. Hopkins +7
Traditional cosmological hydrodynamics simulations fail to spatially resolve the circumgalatic medium (CGM), the reservoir of tenuous gas surrounding a galaxy and extending to its…
The Interplay of Kinetic and Radiative Feedback in Galaxy Clusters
Yu Qiu, Tamara Bogdanovic, Yuan Li +2
Recent observations provide evidence that some cool-core clusters (CCCs) host quasars in their brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). Motivated by these findings we use 3D radiation-hy…
Observational signatures of massive black hole formation in the early universe
Kirk S. S. Barrow, Aycin Aykutalp, John H. Wise
Space telescope observations of massive black holes during their formation may be key to understanding the origin of supermassive black holes and high-redshift quasars. To create d…
Seeding the Second Star: enrichment from population III, dust evolution, and cloud collapse
Gen Chiaki, John H. Wise
We investigate the formation of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars that are observed in the Galactic halo and neighboring ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. Their low metal abundances (${\r…
Growth and Feedback from the First Black Holes
John H. Wise
Regardless of their initial seed mass, any active galactic nuclei observed at redshifts z > 6 must have grown by several orders of magnitude from their seeds. In this chapter, we w…
The Growth of Black Holes from Population III Remnants in the Renaissance Simulations
Britton Smith, John Regan, Turlough Downes +3
The formation of stellar mass black holes from the remnants of Population III stars provides a source of initial black hole seeds with the potential to grow into intermediate or, i…
