Milky Way Tomography IV: Dissecting Dust
Michael Berry, Željko Ivezić, Branimir Sesar +28
We use SDSS photometry of 73 million stars to simultaneously obtain best-fit main-sequence stellar energy distribution (SED) and amount of dust extinction along the line of sight t…
Observability of Dual Active Galactic Nuclei in Merging Galaxies
Sandor Van Wassenhove, Marta Volonteri, Lucio Mayer +3
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been detected in the centers of most nearby massive galaxies. Galaxies today are the products of billions of years of galaxy mergers, but also…
SMBH Formation via Gas Accretion in Nuclear Stellar Clusters
Melvyn B. Davies, M. Coleman Miller, Jillian M. Bellovary
Black holes exceeding a billion solar masses have been detected at redshifts greater than six. The rapid formation of these objects may suggest a massive early seed or a period of…
The First Massive Black Hole Seeds and Their Hosts
Jillian Bellovary, Marta Volonteri, Fabio Governato +3
We investigate the formation of the first massive black holes in high redshift galaxies, with the goal of providing insights to which galaxies do or do not host massive black holes…
