A unified accretion disc model for supermassive black holes in galaxy formation simulations: method and implementation
Sophie Koudmani, Rachel S. Somerville, Debora Sijacki +3
It is well established that supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback is crucial for regulating the evolution of massive, if not all, galaxies. However, modelling the interplay betwe…
Dynamics and spin alignment in massive, gravito-turbulent circumbinary discs around supermassive black hole binaries
Martin A. Bourne, Davide Fiacconi, Debora Sijacki +2
Parsec-scale separation supermassive black hole binaries in the centre of gas-rich galaxy merger remnants could be surrounded by massive circumbinary discs (CBDs). Black hole mass…
Recent Progress in Modeling the Macro- and Micro-Physics of Radio Jet Feedback in Galaxy Clusters
Martin A. Bourne, Hsiang-Yi Karen Yang
Radio jets and the lobes they inflate are common in cool-core clusters and are known to play a critical role in regulating the heating and cooling of the intracluster medium (ICM).…
Simulations of spin-driven AGN jets in gas-rich galaxy mergers
Rosie Y. Talbot, Debora Sijacki, Martin A. Bourne
In this work, we use hydrodynamical simulations to explore the effects of kinetic AGN jet feedback on the progression and outcome of the major merger of two isolated, gas-rich gala…
