The Self–regulated Growth of Supermassive Black Holes
We present a series of simulations of the self–regulated growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxies via three different fueling mechanisms: major mergers, minor mergers, and disk instabilities. The SMBHs in all three scenarios follow the same black hole fundamental plane (BHFP) and correlation with bulge binding energy seen in simulations of major mergers, and observed locally. Furt...
متن کاملOf Interacting and Merging Galaxies
Gravitational interactions and mergers affect the morphologies and dynamics of galaxies from our Local Group to the limits of the observable universe. Observations of interacting galaxies at low redshifts (z ∼< 0.2) yield detailed information about many of the processes at work. I briefly review these processes and the growing evidence that mergers play a major role in the delayed formation of ...
متن کامل4 v 1 1 5 Ja n 20 04 Cosmological Growth History of Supermassive Black Holes and Demographics in the High - z Universe : Do Lyman - Break Galaxies Have Supermassive Black Holes ?
We study the demographics of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the local and high-z universe. We use the continuity equation of the population of SMBHs as the leading principle. We consider three physical processes for the growth of SMBHs: mass accretion, mergers, and direct formation of SMBHs. The mass accretion history of SMBHs is estimated by the hard X-ray luminosity functions (HXLFs) of ...
متن کاملThe Merger History of Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxies
The ubiquity of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of nearby luminous galaxies can arise from the multiple mergers experienced by dark matter halos in hierarchical structure formation models, even if only a small fraction of these galaxies harbor SMBHs at high redshifts. We illustrate this possibility using cosmological Monte Carlo simulations of the merger history of dark matter h...
متن کاملStudying the first galaxies with ALMA
We discuss observations of the first galaxies, within cosmic reionization, at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths. We present a summary of current observations of the host galaxies of the most distant QSOs (z ∼ 6). These observations reveal the gas, dust, and star formation in the host galaxies on kpc-scales. These data imply an enriched ISM in the QSO host galaxies within 1 Gyr of the big ba...
