Galaxy-SMBH co-evolution in 2,435 DESI disk galaxies and merger-free BH growth in bulgeless disks
Sophie M. Jewell, Rebecca J. Smethurst, Chris J. Lintott +8
We analyse black hole scaling relations for disk-dominated galaxies, and present evidence for secularly driven galaxy-black hole co-evolution. We do this observationally by looking…
Massive black holes and their galaxies
Ricarda S. Beckmann, Rebecca J. Smethurst
Almost every galaxy in the local Universe is observed to have a massive black hole in the centre. The properties of these black holes are observed to tightly correlate with those o…
Galaxy Zoo Bar Lengths: A Catalogue of Measurements from Hubble Space Telescope Images and the Evolution of Galactic Bar Structure at z < 1
Tenley Hutchinson-Smith, Brooke D. Simmons, Karen L. Masters +12
Understanding the role of galactic scale bars in disk galaxy evolution requires detailed measurements of bar properties across galaxies hosting bars at many redshifts. We present m…
Introducing : a new universal kinematic disturbance parameter
Jonah M. Powley, Rebecca J. Smethurst, Chris J. Lintott +1
We introduce a new kinematic disturbance parameter, (pronounced `DVSG'), which takes advantage of integral field spectroscopy (IFS) to quantify differences between a…
The Role of Baryonic and Dark Matter in Bar Kinematics
Tobias Géron, Kai Zhu, Steph Campbell +3
Simulations predict that bars in galaxies should slow down over time. This is often attributed to the exchange of angular momentum between the bar and other regions of the galaxy,…
The complex relationships between AGN, bars and bulges
Izzy L. Garland, Henry Best, Lucy F. Fortson +9
Context. Via scaling relations, it is well-known that active galactic nuclei (AGN) and bulges are linked. This link was thought to be driven by mergers, but recent studies show tha…
