The evolution of high-redshift massive black holes
Marta Volonteri, Melanie Habouzit, Fabio Pacucci +1
Massive black holes (MBHs) are nowadays recognized as integral parts of galaxy evolution. Both the approximate proportionality between MBH and galaxy mass, and the expected importa…
The Growth Efficiency of High-Redshift Black Holes
Fabio Pacucci, Marta Volonteri, Andrea Ferrara
The observational evidence that Super-Massive Black Holes () are already in place less than after the Big Bang…
The Brightest Ly Emitter: Pop III or Black Hole?
A. Pallottini, A. Ferrara, F. Pacucci +6
CR7 is the brightest emitter (LAE) known to date, and spectroscopic follow-up by Sobral et al. (2015) suggests that CR7 might host Population (Pop) III stars.…
Shining in the Dark: the Spectral Evolution of the First Black Holes
Fabio Pacucci, Andrea Ferrara, Marta Volonteri +1
Massive Black Hole (MBH) seeds at redshift are now thought to be key ingredients to explain the presence of the super-massive () bla…
Gravitational Waves from Direct Collapse Black Holes Formation
Fabio Pacucci, Andrea Ferrara, Stefania Marassi
The possible formation of Direct Collapse Black Holes (DCBHs) in the first metal-free atomic cooling halos at high redshifts () is nowadays object of intense study and seve…
Simulating the growth of Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Fabio Pacucci, Andrea Ferrara
Theoretical models predict that a population of Intermediate Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) of mass might form at high () redsh…
Reionization and Galaxy Formation in Warm Dark Matter Cosmologies
Pratika Dayal, Tirthankar Roy Choudhury, Volker Bromm +1
We compare model results from a semi-analytic (merger-tree based) framework for high-redshift (z ~ 5-20) galaxy formation against reionization indicators, including the Planck elec…
