Galactic angular momentum in cosmological zoom-in simulations. I. Disk and bulge components and the galaxy--halo connection
Aleksandra Sokolowska, Pedro R. Capelo, S. Michael Fall +3
We investigate the angular momentum evolution of four disk galaxies residing in Milky Way-sized halos formed in cosmological zoom-in simulations with various sub-grid physics and m…
Shocks and angular momentum flips: a different path to feeding the nuclear regions of merging galaxies
Pedro R. Capelo, Massimo Dotti
We study the dynamics of galaxy mergers, with emphasis on the gas feeding of nuclear regions, using a suite of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy encounters. The high spatial and…
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…
Supermassive black hole pairs in clumpy galaxies at high redshift: delayed binary formation and concurrent mass growth
Valentina Tamburello, Pedro R. Capelo, Lucio Mayer +2
Massive gas-rich galaxy discs at host massive star-forming clumps with typical baryonic masses in the range ~M which can affect the orbital decay…
