The Pairing of Accreting Massive Black Holes in Multiphase Circumnuclear Disks: the Interplay between Radiative Cooling, Star Formation, and Feedback Processes

Rafael Souza Lima, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo +1

We study the orbital decay of a pair of massive black holes (BHs) with masses 5 * 10^5 and 10^7 M_sun, using hydrodynamical simulations of circumnuclear disks (CNDs) with the alter…

The effects of host galaxy properties on merging compact binaries detectable by LIGO

Richard O'Shaughnessy, Jillian Bellovary, Alyson Brooks +3

Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation can produce present-day galaxies with a large range of assembly and star formation histories. A detailed study of the metallicity evolu…

Bar-driven evolution and quenching of spiral galaxies in cosmological simulations

Daniele Spinoso, Silvia Bonoli, Massimo Dotti +3

We analyse the output of the hi-res cosmological zoom-in simulation ErisBH to study self-consistently the formation of a strong stellar bar in a Milky Way-type galaxy and its effec…

Growth and activity of black holes in galaxy mergers with varying mass ratios

Pedro R. Capelo, Marta Volonteri, Massimo Dotti +3

We study supermassive black holes (BHs) in merging galaxies, using a suite of hydrodynamical simulations with very high spatial (~10 pc) and temporal (~1 Myr) resolution, where we…

Effects of Inclination on Measuring Velocity Dispersion and Implications for Black Holes

Jillian Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Kayhan Gültekin +5

The relation of central black hole mass and stellar spheroid velocity dispersion (the M- relation) is one of the best-known and tightest correlations linking black holes and the…

Wandering Black Holes in Bright Disk Galaxy Halos

Jillian Bellovary, Fabio Governato, Tom Quinn +3

We perform SPH+N-body cosmological simulations of massive disk galaxies, including a formalism for black hole seed formation and growth, and find that satellite galaxies containing…
