A survey of dual active galactic nuclei in simulations of galaxy mergers: frequency and properties
Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti, Marta Volonteri +3
We investigate the simultaneous triggering of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in merging galaxies, using a large suite of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations. We compute dual-A…
The Pairing of Accreting Massive Black Holes in Multiphase Circumnuclear Disks: the Interplay between Radiative Cooling, Star Formation, and Feedback Processes
Rafael Souza Lima, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo +1
We study the orbital decay of a pair of massive black holes (BHs) with masses 5 * 10^5 and 10^7 M_sun, using hydrodynamical simulations of circumnuclear disks (CNDs) with the alter…
Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations of Preferential Accretion in the SMBH of Milky Way Size Galaxies
N. Nicole Sanchez, Jillian M. Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +6
Using a new, high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of a Milky Way-type (MW-type) galaxy, we explore how a merger-rich assembly history affects the mass budget of the…
The effects of host galaxy properties on merging compact binaries detectable by LIGO
Richard O'Shaughnessy, Jillian Bellovary, Alyson Brooks +3
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation can produce present-day galaxies with a large range of assembly and star formation histories. A detailed study of the metallicity evolu…
Bar-driven evolution and quenching of spiral galaxies in cosmological simulations
Daniele Spinoso, Silvia Bonoli, Massimo Dotti +3
We analyse the output of the hi-res cosmological zoom-in simulation ErisBH to study self-consistently the formation of a strong stellar bar in a Milky Way-type galaxy and its effec…
The Romulus Cosmological Simulations: A Physical Approach to the Formation, Dynamics and Accretion Models of SMBHs
Michael Tremmel, Michael Karcher, Fabio Governato +5
We present a novel implementation of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation, dynamics, and accretion in the massively parallel tree+SPH code, ChaNGa. This approach improves the m…
