Connecting Cores and Black Hole Dynamics Across Scales: From Globular Clusters to Massive Ellipticals
Kyle Kremer, Newlin C. Weatherford, Philip F. Hopkins +2
The centers of massive elliptical galaxies exhibit a wide range in density profiles, from central cusps to resolved cores with order kiloparsec sizes. The cored ellipticals have be…
Zooming In On The Multi-Phase Structure of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Disks: Radiation From Torus to ISCO Across Accretion Rates
Philip F. Hopkins, Kung-Yi Su, Norman Murray +12
Recent radiation-thermochemical-magnetohydrodynamic simulations resolved formation of quasar accretion disks from cosmological scales down to ~300 gravitational radii , argu…
From Seeds to Supermassive Black Holes: Capture, Growth, Migration, and Pairing in Dense Proto-Bulge Environments
Yanlong Shi, Kyle Kremer, Philip F. Hopkins
The origins and mergers of supermassive black holes (BHs) remain a mystery. We describe a scenario from a novel multi-physics simulation featuring rapid (Myr) hyper-E…
Feedback-regulated Seed Black Hole Growth in Star-Forming Molecular Clouds and Galactic Nuclei
Yanlong Shi, Kyle Kremer, Philip F. Hopkins
The detection of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in high-redshift luminous quasars may require a phase of rapid accretion, and as a precondition, substantial gas influx toward see…
FORGE'd in FIRE III: The IMF in Quasar Accretion Disks from STARFORGE
Philip F. Hopkins, Michael Y. Grudic, Kyle Kremer +3
Recently, we demonstrated self-consistent formation of strongly-magnetized quasar accretion disks (QADs) from cosmological radiation-magnetohydrodynamic-thermochemical galaxy-star…
