Black Hole Winds II: Hyper-Eddington Winds and Feedback

Andrew King, Stuart I. Muldrew

We show that black holes supplied with mass at hyper--Eddington rates drive outflows with mildly sub--relativistic velocities. These are for Eddington accretion f…

Major Mergers Going Notts: Challenges for Modern Halo Finders

Peter Behroozi, Alexander Knebe, Frazer R. Pearce +7

Merging haloes with similar masses (i.e., major mergers) pose significant challenges for halo finders. We compare five halo finding algorithms' (AHF, HBT, Rockstar, SubFind, and VE…

Subhaloes gone Notts: Subhaloes as tracers of the dark matter halo shape

Kai Hoffmann, Susana Planelles, Enrique Gaztanaga +14

We study the shapes of subhalo distributions from four dark-matter-only simulations of Milky Way type haloes. Comparing the shapes derived from the subhalo distributions at high re…

Modelling the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes in Cosmological Simulations

Stuart I. Muldrew, Frazer R. Pearce, Chris Power

There is strong evidence that supermassive black holes reside in all galaxies that contain a stellar spheroid and their mass is tightly correlated with properties such as stellar b…

Measures of Galaxy Environment - III. Difficulties in identifying proto-clusters at z ~ 2

Genevieve M. Shattow, Darren J. Croton, Ramin A. Skibba +3

Galaxy environment is frequently discussed, but inconsistently defined. It is especially difficult to measure at high redshift where only photometric redshifts are available. With…
