From the Earliest Seeds to Today's Supermassive Black Holes

Piero Madau

I review scenarios for the assembly of supermassive black holes (MBHs) at the center of galaxies that trace their hierarchical build-up far up in the dark matter halo "merger tree"…

X-ray Properties of Lyman Break Galaxies in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey

B. D. Lehmer, W. N. Brandt, D. M. Alexander +9

We constrain the X-ray emission properties of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 3-6 using the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North and 1 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South. Large samples of LBG…

High Redshift Supernova Rates

Tomas Dahlen, Louis-Gregory Strolger, Adam G. Riess +10

We use a sample of 42 supernovae detected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on-board the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey to measure…

Compton Echoes from Gamma-Ray Bursts: Unveiling Misaligned Jets in Nearby Type Ib/c Supernovae

Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Piero Madau

There is now compelling evidence of a link between long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and Type Ib/c supernovae (SNe). These core-collapse explosions are conjectured to radiate a…

The effect of gravitational-wave recoil on the demography of massive black holes

Piero Madau, Eliot Quataert

The coalescence of massive black hole (MBH) binaries following galaxy mergers is one of the main sources of low-frequency gravitational radiation. A higher-order relativistic pheno…
