Dianoga simulations of galaxy clusters and groups: Properties of the baryonic components
Stefano Borgani, Alice Damiano, Elena Rasia +12
We introduce the Dianoga set of cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters and groups, specifically aimed at studying the impact of the implementation of AGN feedback and star for…
Rates of tidal disruption events from constrained cosmological simulations of the local Universe: population properties and implications for transient surveys
Julian S. Sommer, Ildar Khabibullin, Klaus Dolag +4
(abridged) Motivated by upcoming surveys like LSST, we estimate tidal disruption event (TDE) rates using the constrained cosmological Simulation of the LOcal Web (SLOW) to test the…
Dynamical friction and massive black hole orbits: analytical predictions and numerical solutions
Alice Damiano, Stefano Borgani, Milena Valentini +4
We investigate the orbital decay of a massive BH embedded in a dark matter halo and a stellar bulge, using both analytical and numerical simulations with the aim of developing and…
Dynamical friction and evolution of black holes in cosmological simulations: a new implementation in OpenGadget3
Alice Damiano, Milena Valentini, Stefano Borgani +5
We implement a sub-resolution prescription for the unresolved dynamical friction onto black holes (BHs) in the OpenGadget3 code. We carry out cosmological simulations of a volume o…
