The Role of Galactic Winds on Molecular Gas Emission from Galaxy Mergers
Desika Narayanan, T. J. Cox, Brandon Kelly +7
We assess the impact of starburst and AGN feedback-driven winds on the CO emission from galaxy mergers, and, in particular, search for signatures of these winds in the simulated CO…
The Nature of CO Emission From z~6 Quasars
Desika Narayanan, Yuexing Li, Thomas J. Cox +9
We investigate the nature of CO emission from z~6 quasars by combining non-LTE radiative transfer calculations with merger-driven models of z~6 quasar formation that arise naturall…
Direct cosmological simulations of the growth of black holes and galaxies
Tiziana Di Matteo, Joerg Colberg, Volker Springel +2
We investigate the coupled formation and evolution of galaxies and their embedded supermassive black holes using state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations of cosmological structure…
Angular Anisotropies in the Cosmic Gamma-ray Background as a Probe of its Origin
Francesco Miniati, Savvas M. Koushiappas, Tiziana Di Matteo
Notwithstanding the advent of the Gamma-ray Large Area Telescope, theoretical models predict that a significant fraction of the cosmic gamma-ray background (CGB), at the level of 2…
Formation of z ~ 6 quasars from hierarchical galaxy mergers
Yuexing Li, Lars Hernquist, Brant Robertson +8
The discovery of luminous quasars at redshift z ~ 6 indicates the presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of mass ~10^9 Msun when the Universe was less than one billion years…
The Evolution in the Faint-End Slope of the Quasar Luminosity Function
Philip F. Hopkins, Lars Hernquist, Thomas J. Cox +3
(Abridged) Based on numerical simulations of galaxy mergers that incorporate black hole (BH) growth, we predict the faint end slope of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) and its…
