Feeding compact bulges and supermassive black holes with low angular momentum cosmic gas at high redshift

We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to show that a significant fraction of the gas in high redshift rare massive haloes falls nearly radially to their very centre on extremely short time-scales. This process results in the formation of very compact bulges with specific angular momentum a...
