Evidence for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Martin G. H. Krause, Martin A. Bourne, Silke Britzen +10
We review the state of the evidence for the existence and observational appearance of supermassive black hole binaries. Such objects are expected from standard hierarchical galaxy…
The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ…
The MandelZoom project II: the impact of stellar feedback on black hole accretion through an -disc in dwarf galaxies with a resolved interstellar medium
Eun-jin Shin, Matthew C. Smith, Debora Sijacki +2
We present a suite of high-resolution simulations to study how different stellar feedback channels regulate the growth of central intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in dwarf gal…
On the consistency of jet feedback modelling across different astrophysics hydrodynamical codes
N. Maragkakis, M. A. Bourne, C. Power +3
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback is essential in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation, yet its implementation has to rely on subgrid models due to limited resolution.…
The MandelZoom project I: modelling black hole accretion through an -disc in dwarf galaxies with a resolved interstellar medium
Eun-jin Shin, Debora Sijacki, Matthew C. Smith +2
While mounting observational evidence suggests that intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) may be important in shaping the properties of dwarf galaxies both at high redshifts and in…
Premature supermassive black hole mergers in cosmological simulations of structure formation
Stephanie Buttigieg, Debora Sijacki, Christopher J. Moore +1
The co-evolution of massive black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies is well-established within the hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. Large-scale cosmological simulations ar…
