Learning the Universe at High Redshifts: Impact of Accretion Modeling on Early Black Hole Growth

Jonathan Kho, Aklant K. Bhowmick, Rainer Weinberger +8

JWST discoveries of the earliest () supermassive black holes (BHs, ) challenge the BH seeding and accretion models of most cosmol…

The Multi-phase Biconical Outflow in the local IR-Luminous Merger IRASF01364-1042

Y. Song, V. U, J. Kader +37

We investigate the spatially-resolved ISM properties of the local (), IR-luminous (\,L), late-stage galaxy merger IRAS F01364-1042, comb…

Spatially Resolved Star Formation relations in local LIRGs along the complete merger sequence

M. Sánchez-García, T. Díaz-Santos, L. Barcos-Muñoz +25

We investigate the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at ~100 pc scales in a sample of 27 nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) spanning the entire merger sequence. In…

The abundance and properties of the lowest luminosity dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way: Insights from Semi-Analytic Models

Niusha Ahvazi, Andrew B. Pace, Christopher T. Garling +11

We investigate the formation and observable properties of faint satellite galaxies (M$_\rm V > -3$) in Milky Way-like halos using the semi-analytic galaxy formation model Galacticu…

The Relationship Between Eddington Ratio and Column Density in U/LIRG AGN

Jaya Nagarajan-Swenson, George C. Privon, Aaron S. Evans +8

The local X-ray AGN population appears to follow a growth cycle regulated by the AGN's own radiation, marked by changes in their obscuration and Eddington ratio during accretion ev…

Searching for Compact Obscured Nuclei in Compton Thick AGN

Makoto A. Johnstone, George C. Privon, Loreto Barcos-Munoz +16

Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) are heavily obscured infrared cores that have been found in local (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs). They show bright emission from vibrati…
