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) -- 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…
Identifying supermassive black hole recoil in elliptical galaxies
Alexander Rawlings, Atte Keitaanranta, Max Mattero +8
We study stellar core growth in simulations of merging massive () elliptical galaxies by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) displaced by gravitatio…
