Probing black hole accretion tracks, scaling relations and radiative efficiencies from stacked X-ray active galactic nuclei
Francesco Shankar, David H. Weinberg, Christopher Marsden +25
The masses of supermassive black holes at the centres of local galaxies appear to be tightly correlated with the mass and velocity dispersions of their galactic hosts. However, the…
Galaxy sizes and the galaxy-halo connection -- I: the remarkable tightness of the size distributions
Lorenzo Zanisi, Francesco Shankar, Andrea Lapi +6
The mass and structural assembly of galaxies is a matter of intense debate. Current theoretical models predict the existence of a linear relationship between galaxy size () an…
Impact of AGN feedback on galaxies and their multiphase ISM across cosmic time
Milena Valentini, Giuseppe Murante, Stefano Borgani +6
We present simulations of galaxy formation, based on the GADGET-3 code, in which a sub-resolution model for star formation and stellar feedback is interfaced with a new model for A…
Constraining black hole-galaxy scaling relations from the large-scale clustering of Active Galactic Nuclei and implied mean radiative efficiency
Francesco Shankar, Viola Allevato, Mariangela Bernardi +11
A supermassive black hole has been found at the centre of nearly every galaxy observed with sufficient sensitivity. The masses of these black holes are observed to increase with ei…
New Analytic Solutions for Galaxy Evolution: Gas, Stars, Metals and Dust in local Early-Type Galaxies and in their high-z Starforming Progenitors
L. Pantoni, A. Lapi, M. Massardi +2
We present a set of new analytic solutions aimed at self-consistently describing the spatially-averaged time evolution of the gas, stellar, metal, and dust content in an individual…
Merging Rates of Compact Binaries in Galaxies: Perspectives for Gravitational Wave Detections
L. Boco, A. Lapi, S. Goswami +3
We investigate the merging rates of compact binaries in galaxies, and the related detection rate of gravitational wave (GW) events with AdvLIGO/Virgo and with the Einstein Telescop…
