Black hole spin evolution across cosmic time from the NewHorizon simulation
Ricarda S. Beckmann, Yohan Dubois, Marta Volonteri +8
Astrophysical black holes (BHs) have two fundamental properties: mass and spin. While the mass-evolution of BHs has been extensively studied, much less work has been done on predic…
