The Relative Role of Galaxy Mergers and Cosmic Flows in Feeding Black Holes
Jillian Bellovary, Alyson Brooks, Marta Volonteri +3
Using a set of zoomed-in cosmological simulations of high-redshift progenitors of massive galaxies, we isolate and trace the history of gas that is accreted by central supermassive…
