Novak - "Hydrodynamic simulations of black hole fueling and feedback"

• "Nuclear physics": not analytic, non-local, inhomogeneous, coupled at vastly different length scales, energy generation affects fueling
• Axi-symmetric simulations: 2.5pc to 250kpc scales, run for Gyrs.  See his papers in the last few years. Physically rich model (RT, feedback, dust models & opacity, etc.)
• Increasing the dimensionality … Continue Reading ››

Gültekin - "Probing the black hole-­‐galaxy scaling relations: present and past"

• Uncorrelated BH seeding -> M-sigma.  I first saw this in a conference in Potsdam (2010). Interesting, but they considered a 100% occupation fraction. Peng (2007), Jahnke & Maccio (2010).
• Low scatter in M-sigma, but there are some outliers (e.g. NGC 1277)! Forming too many / little stars. … Continue Reading ››
