The Gravitational Wave Background from Massive Black Holes in the ASTRID Simulation
Nianyi Chen, Tiziana Di Matteo, Yihao Zhou +6
Recent pulsar timing array (PTA) observations have detected nanohertz gravitational waves, likely originating from massive black hole binaries (MBHBs). The detected amplitude is un…
MAGICS III. Seeds sink swiftly: nuclear star clusters dramatically accelerate seed black hole mergers
Diptajyoti Mukherjee, Yihao Zhou, Nianyi Chen +2
Merger rate predictions of Massive Black Hole (MBH) seeds from large-scale cosmological simulations differ widely, with recent studies highlighting the challenge of low-mass MBH se…
The Astrid Simulation: Evolution of black holes and galaxies to z=0.5 and different evolution pathways for galaxy quenching
Yueying Ni, Nianyi Chen, Yihao Zhou +5
We present new results from the ASTRID simulation from to , covering the epoch of cosmic noon. The galaxy stellar mass function, as well as the black hole mass and lum…
Ultramassive black holes formed by triple quasar mergers at
Yueying Ni, Tiziana DiMatteo, Nianyi Chen +2
The origin of rare and elusive ultramassive black holes (UMBH, with MBH > 1e10 Msun) is an open question. Using the large volume cosmological hydrodynamic simulation ASTRID, we rep…
The Diversity of Environments Around Luminous Quasars at Redshift
Keven Ren, Michele Trenti, Madeline A. Marshall +2
Significant clustering around the rarest luminous quasars is a feature predicted by dark matter theory combined with number density matching arguments. However, this expectation is…
Stochastic Processes as the Origin of the Double-Power Law Shape of the Quasar Luminosity Function
Keven Ren, Michele Trenti, Tiziana Di Matteo
The Quasar Luminosity Function (QLF) offers insight into the early co-evolution of black holes and galaxies. It has been characterized observationally up to redshift with…
