Simulations of Recoiling Massive Black Holes in the Via Lactea Halo
Javiera Guedes, Piero Madau, Micheal Kuhlen +2
The coalescence of a massive black hole (MBH) binary leads to the gravitational-wave recoil of the system and its ejection from the galaxy core. We have carried out N-body simulati…
The Growth of Supermassive Black Holes Across Cosmic Time
K. Nandra, J. A. Aird, D. M. Alexander +54
One of the main themes in extragalactic astronomy for the next decade will be the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. Many future observatories, including JWST, ALMA, GMT, TMT…
Massive Black Holes Across Cosmic Time
P. Madau, T. Abel, P. Bender +12
This White Paper to the National Academy of Sciences Astro2010 Decadal Review Committee outlines some of the outstanding questions regarding the assembly history of Massive Black H…
A downturn in intergalactic CIV as redshift 6 is approached
Emma V. Ryan-Weber, Max Pettini, Piero Madau +1
We present the results of the largest survey to date for intergalactic metals at redshifts z > 5, using near-IR spectra of nine QSOs with emission redshifts z(em) > 5.7. We find, f…
Cosmology from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line
Steven Furlanetto, Adam Lidz, Abraham Loeb +26
One of the next decade's most exciting prospects is to explore the cosmic "dark ages," during which the first stars in the Universe formed, with the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen.…
Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
