Micrometeoroid Impact Rate Analysis for an Artemis-Era Lunar Base
Daniel A. Yahalomi, Matthew T. Scoggins, Nasiah Anderson +5
NASA's Artemis Mission aims to return astronauts to the Moon and establish a base at the lunar south pole. A key challenge is understanding the threat from micrometeoroid impacts,…
Heavy black hole seed survivors in dwarf galaxies: a case study of Leo I
Matthew T. Scoggins, Zoltan Haiman, Fabio Pacucci
The supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with mass hosted by high-redshift galaxies have challenged our understanding of black hole formation and grow…
A Post-Starburst Pathway for the Formation of Massive Galaxies and Black Holes at z>6
Masafusa Onoue, Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman +45
Understanding the rapid formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early universe requires insight into stellar mass growth in host galaxies. Here, we present NIRSpec res…
Learning the Universe: Tests of a Field Level -body Simulation Emulator
Matthew T. Scoggins, Matthew Ho, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro +3
We apply and test a field-level emulator for non-linear cosmic structure formation in a volume matching next-generation surveys. Inferring the cosmological parameters and initial c…
Diagnosing the massive-seed pathway to high-redshift black holes: statistics of the evolving black hole to host galaxy mass ratio
Matthew T. Scoggins, Zoltán Haiman
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of within the first billion year of the universe challenge our conventional understanding of black hole forma…
