Microlensing Black Hole Shadows
Himanshu Verma, Joseph Silk
A detailed analysis is presented of gravitational microlensing by intervening compact objects of the black hole shadows imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We show how the…
TRINITY III: Quasar Luminosity Functions Decomposed by Halo, Galaxy, and Black Hole Masses and Eddington Ratios from z=0-10
Haowen Zhang, Peter Behroozi, Marta Volonteri +5
We present the redshift evolution of quasar luminosity functions decomposed by halo mass, galaxy mass, supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass, and Eddington ratio, as well as SMBH kin…
TRINITY II: The Luminosity-dependent Bias of the Supermassive Black Hole Mass--Galaxy Mass Relation for Bright Quasars at
Haowen Zhang, Peter Behroozi, Marta Volonteri +5
Using recent empirical constraints on the dark matter halo--galaxy--supermassive black hole (SMBH) connection from , we infer how undermassive, typical, and overmassive SMBH…
Off-centre supermassive black holes in bright central galaxies
Aline Chu, Pierre Boldrini, Joe Silk
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are believed to reside at the centre of massive galaxies such as brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). However, as BCGs experienced numerous galaxy me…
The Unusual Milky Way-Local Sheet System: Implications for Spin Strength and Alignment
M. A. Aragon-Calvo, Joseph Silk, Mark Neyrinck
The Milky Way and the Local Sheet form a peculiar galaxy system in terms of the unusually low velocity dispersion in our neighbourhood and the seemingly high mass of the Milky Way…
The entropy of galaxy spectra: How much information is encoded?
Ignacio Ferreras, Ofer Lahav, Rachel S. Somerville +1
The inverse problem of extracting the stellar population content of galaxy spectra is analysed here from a basic standpoint based on information theory. By interpreting spectra as…
