Little Red Dots are Direct-Collapse Black Hole-Forming Galaxies

Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif, Konstantinos Topalakis +3

"Little Red Dots" (LRDs) at are one of the most challenging discoveries by JWST to date because their distinctive V-shaped spectra and compact morphologies (100 - 200 p…

Not all those missing are lost: leveraging galaxy clustering in incomplete catalogs to unleash dark sirens cosmology

Riccardo Barbieri, Marios Kalomenopoulos, Matteo Tagliazucchi +2

Gravitational waves offer a unique opportunity to solve the Hubble tension. In order to do so, we have to extract as much information as possible from cross correlating gravitation…

Supermassive black holes in six triaxial galaxies: Insights from SINFONI and MUSE observations

Sabine Thater, Avinash Chaturvedi, Davor Krajnovic +5

Dynamical modelling can be used to constrain the masses of central black holes; however, modelling massive galaxies is challenging due to their complexity. In this work, we report…

How Overmassive Black Holes Formed at Cosmic Dawn

Muhammad A. Latif, Daniel J. Whalen, Sadegh Khochfar +1

Overmassive black hole galaxies (OBGs) at redshifts 10, or 450 Myr after the Big Bang, are one of the most puzzling discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope to date b…

Impact of subhalo dynamical friction heating on the formation of the first structures in the universe

Zhenyu Wu, Sadegh Khochfar, Muhammad A. Latif +2

We present a model for gas heating, driven by dynamical friction from orbiting subhalos within dark matter halos. Using data from the TNG50 simulation, we derive the subhalo mass f…

Clustering effects on the Dark Siren determination of : A simulation study

Marios Kalomenopoulos, Riccardo Barbieri, Sadegh Khochfar +2

Gravitational waves (GWs) offer an alternative way to measure the Hubble parameter. The optimal technique, the ``bright siren'' approach, requires the identification of an electrom…
