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…

Introducing the BRAHMA simulation suite: Signatures of low mass black hole seeding models in cosmological simulations

Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +6

The first "seeds" of supermassive black holes (BH) can range from . However, the lowest mass seeds () are inaccessible to most cosm…

On the Origin of the Ancient, Large-Scale Cold Front in the Perseus Cluster of Galaxies

Elena Bellomi, John ZuHone, Rainer Weinberger +4

The intracluster medium of the Perseus Cluster exhibits spiral-shaped X-ray surface brightness discontinuities known as ``cold fronts'', which simulations indicate are caused by th…

Representing low mass black hole seeds in cosmological simulations: A new sub-grid stochastic seed model

Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +5

The nature of the first seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is currently unknown, with postulated initial masses ranging from to as low as $\sim10^2~M_{\…

Orbital Evolution of Binaries in Circumbinary Disks

Magdalena Siwek, Rainer Weinberger, Lars Hernquist

We present the to-date largest parameter space exploration of binaries in circumbinary disks (CBDs), deriving orbital evolution prescriptions for eccentric, unequal mass binaries f…

Increasing blackhole feedback induced quenching with anisotropic thermal conduction

Rahul Kannan, Mark Vogelsberger, Christoph Pfrommer +5

Feedback from central supermassive blackholes is often invoked to explain the low star formation rates in massive galaxies at the centers of galaxy clusters. However, the detailed…
