Zooming in on supermassive black holes: how resolving their gas cloud host renders their accretion episodic

Born in rapidly evolving mini-halos during the first billion years of the Universe, supermassive black holes (SMBH) feed from gas flows spanning many orders of magnitude, from the cosmic web in which they are embedded to their event horizon. As such, accretion onto SMBHs constitutes a formidable cha...
