Simulating galaxy formation with black hole driven thermal and kinetic feedback by Weinberger, Rainer, Springel, Volker, Hernquist, Lars, Pillepich, Annalisa, Marinacci, Federico, Pakmor, Rüdiger, Nelson, Dylan, Genel, Shy, Vogelsberger, Mark, Naiman, Jill, Torrey, Paul

“…The inefficiency of star formation in massive elliptical galaxies is widely believed to be caused by the interactions of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with the surrounding gas. Achieving a sufficiently rapid reddening of moderately massive galaxies without expelling too many baryons has however proven difficult for hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation, prompting us to explore a new model for the accretion and feedback effects of supermassive black holes. …”

Ejective and preventative: the IllustrisTNG black hole feedback and its effects on the thermodynamics of the gas within and around galaxies by Zinger, Elad, Pillepich, Annalisa, Nelson, Dylan, Weinberger, Rainer, Pakmor, Rüdiger, Springel, Volker, Hernquist, Lars, Marinacci, Federico, Vogelsberger, Mark

“…In practice, the same active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback channel is simultaneously ‘ejective’ and ‘preventative’ and leaves an imprint on the temperature, density, entropy, and cooling times also in the outer reaches of the gas halo, up to distances of several hundred kiloparsecs. …”

Submillimetre galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations – an opportunity for constraining feedback models by Hayward, Christopher C, Sparre, Martin, Chapman, Scott C, Hernquist, Lars, Nelson, Dylan, Pakmor, Rüdiger, Pillepich, Annalisa, Springel, Volker, Torrey, Paul, Vogelsberger, Mark, Weinberger, Rainer

“…We demonstrate that IllustrisTNG hosts fewer SMGs than Illustris because in the former, high-mass ($M_{\star }\sim 10^{11} \, \text{M}_{\odot }$) z ∼ 2–3 galaxies have lower dust masses and SFRs than in Illustris owing to differences in the subgrid models for stellar and/or active galactic nucleus feedback between the two simulations (we unfortunately cannot isolate the specific cause(s) post hoc). …”

AGN and star formation at cosmic noon: comparison of data to theoretical models by Florez, Jonathan, Jogee, Shardha, Guo, Yuchen, Cora, Sofía A, Weinberger, Rainer, Davé, Romeel, Hernquist, Lars, Vogelsberger, Mark, Ciardullo, Robin, Finkelstein, Steven L, Gronwall, Caryl, Kawinwanichakij, Lalitwadee, Leung, Gene CK, LaMassa, Stephanie, Papovich, Casey, Stevans, Matthew L, Wold, Isak

“…In theoretical models of galaxy evolution, active galactic nucleus (AGN) and star formation (SF) activity are closely linked and AGN feedback is routinely invoked to regulate galaxy growth. …”
