Formation of z ~ 6 quasars from hierarchical galaxy mergers
Yuexing Li, Lars Hernquist, Brant Robertson +8
The discovery of luminous quasars at redshift z ~ 6 indicates the presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of mass ~10^9 Msun when the Universe was less than one billion years…
Correlations Between Central Massive Objects And Their Host Galaxies: From Bulgeless Spirals to Ellipticals
Yuexing Li, Zoltán Haiman, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low
Recent observations by Ferrarese et al. (2006) and Wehner et al. (2006) reveal that a majority of galaxies contain a central massive object (CMO), either a supermassive black hole…
The Relation Between Quasar and Merging Galaxy Luminosity Functions and the Merger-Induced Star Formation Rate of the Universe
Philip F. Hopkins, Rachel S. Somerville, Lars Hernquist +3
Using a model for self-regulated growth of black holes (BHs) in mergers involving gas-rich galaxies, we study the relationship between quasars and the population of merging galaxie…
