Supermassive black hole growth in hierarchically merging nuclear star clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Ricarda S. Beckmann, Joseph Silk +5
Supermassive black holes are prevalent at the centers of massive galaxies, and their masses scale with galaxy properties, increasing evidence suggesting that these trends continue…
TRINITY VI: Connection between Galaxy Star Formation Rates and Supermassive Black Hole Accretion Rates from z=0-10
Haowen Zhang, Peter Behroozi, Marta Volonteri +6
We infer supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion rates and Eddington ratios as a function of SMBH/host galaxy mass and redshift with the empirical TRINITY model of dark matter hal…
Supermassive black holes from runaway mergers and accretion in nuclear star clusters
Konstantinos Kritos, Emanuele Berti, Joseph Silk
Rapid formation of supermassive black holes occurs in dense nuclear star clusters that are initially gas-dominated. Stellar-mass black hole remnants of the most massive cluster sin…
Effects of Superradiance in Active Galactic Nuclei
Priyanka Sarmah, Himanshu Verma, Kingman Cheung +1
A supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the core of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) provides room for the elusive ultra-light scalar particles (ULSP) to be produced through a phenomen…
Extremal Kerr Black Hole Dark Matter from Hawking Evaporation
Quinn Taylor, Glenn D. Starkman, Michael Hinczewski +3
The Hawking process results in a monotonic decrease of the black hole mass, but a biased random walk of the black hole angular momentum. We demonstrate that this stochastic process…
Which came first: supermassive black holes or galaxies? Insights from JWST
Joseph Silk, Mitchell Begelman, Colin Norman +2
Insights from JWST observations suggest that AGN feedback evolved from a short-lived, high redshift phase in which radiatively cooled turbulence and/or momentum-conserving outflows…
