AGN feedback in merging galaxies with a SMUGGLE multiphase ISM

Aneesh Sivasankaran, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +6

We study fast nuclear winds driven by Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) feedback in merging galaxies using high-resolution hydrodynamics simulations. We use Stars and MUltiphase Gas in…

Dynamics of low-mass black hole seeds in the BRAHMA simulations using subgrid-dynamical friction: Impact on merger-driven black hole growth in the high redshift Universe

Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Luke Z. Kelley +7

We analyze the dynamics of low-mass black hole (BH) seeds in the high-redshift () Universe using a suite of and BRAHMA cosmol…

Growth of high redshift supermassive black holes from heavy seeds in the BRAHMA cosmological simulations: Implications of overmassive black holes

Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +6

JWST has recently revealed a large population of accreting black holes (BHs) in the early Universe. Even after accounting for possible systematic biases, the high-z $M_*-M_{\rm \rm…

AGN feedback in isolated galaxies with a SMUGGLE multiphase ISM

Aneesh Sivasankaran, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +6

Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can strongly impact the host galaxies by driving high-velocity winds that impart substantial energy and momentum to the interstellar medi…

Simulations of black hole fueling in isolated and merging galaxies with an explicit, multiphase ISM

Aneesh Sivasankaran, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +9

We study gas inflows onto supermassive black holes using hydrodynamics simulations of isolated galaxies and idealized galaxy mergers with an explicit, multiphase interstellar mediu…
