The LISA Astrophysics MBHcatalogues Project: A comparison of predictions of simulated massive black hole binaries

David Izquierdo-Villalba, Melanie Habouzit, Matteo Bonetti +67

In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the…

RABBITS - III. Modelling relativistic accretion discs around spinning black holes in galaxy formation simulations

Dimitrios Irodotou, Shihong Liao, Theodoros Nakas +6

In this third study of the 'Resolving supermAssive Black hole Binaries In galacTic hydrodynamical Simulations' (RABBITS) series we develop and implement a geometrically thin relati…

First Light And Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) -- XIX: Supermassive black hole mergers in the early Universe and their environmental dependence

Shihong Liao, Dimitrios Irodotou, Maxwell G. A. Maltz +10

The upcoming space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatory, LISA, is expected to detect GW signals from supermassive black hole (SMBH) mergers occurring at high redshifts. Howeve…

First Light and Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) -- XVIII: the ionising emissivities and hydrogen recombination line properties of early AGN

Stephen M. Wilkins, Aswin P. Vijayan, Scott Hagen +10

One of the most remarkable results from the \emph{James Webb Space Telescope} has been the discovery of a large population of compact sources exhibiting strong broad H emission…

First Light and Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) -- XV: The physical properties of super-massive black holes and their impact on galaxies in the early universe

Stephen M. Wilkins, Jussi K. Kuusisto, Dimitrios Irodotou +9

Understanding the co-evolution of super-massive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies remains a key challenge of extragalactic astrophysics, particularly the earliest stages…

First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES) XVI: Size Evolution of Massive Dusty Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn from UV to IR

Paurush Punyasheel, Aswin P. Vijayan, Thomas R. Greve +9

We use the First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES) to study the evolution of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) and far-infrared (FIR) sizes for a statistical sample o…
