The impact of cosmic ray feedback during the epoch of reionisation

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Marion Farcy, Joakim Rosdahl, Yohan Dubois, Jérémy Blaizot, Sergio Martin-Alvarez | Summary: Galaxies form and evolve via a multitude of complex physics. In this work, we investigate the role of cosmic ray (CR) feedback in galaxy evolution and reionisation, by examining its impact on the escape of […]

The case for large-scale AGN feedback in galaxy formation simulations: insights from XFABLE

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Leah Bigwood, Martin A. Bourne, Vid Irsic, Alexandra Amon, Debora Sijacki | Summary: While cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have reached maturity, able to reproduce many fundamental galaxy and halo properties, no consensus has yet been reached on the impact of `baryonic feedback’ on the non-linear matter […]

BlackTHUNDER — A non-stellar Balmer break in a black hole-dominated little red dot at $z=7.04$

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Xihan Ji, Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Übler, Jan Scholtz, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: Recent observations from JWST have revealed an abundant population of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and so-called “Little Red Dots” (LRDs) at $2lesssim z lesssim 11$, many of which are characterized by V-shaped UV-to-optical continua with […]

Assessing the dark matter content of two quasar host galaxies at z~6 through gas kinematics

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Qinyue Fei, John D. Sivlerman, Seiji Fujimoto, Ran Wang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: We conduct a study of the gas kinematics of two quasar host galaxies at $zgtrsim6$ traced by the [CII] emission line using ALMA. By combining deep observations at both low and high resolution, […]

Zapped then Napped? A rapidly quenched remnant leaker candidate with a steep spectroscopic $β_{UV}$ slope at z=8.5

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: William M. Baker, Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Andrew J. Bunker, Charlotte Simmonds | Summary: We use NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy and NIRCam Photometry to explore the properties of JADES-GS8-RL-1, a rapidly quenched, $z=8.5$ galaxy with a stellar mass of $10^{8.9}M_odot$, a steep blue UV slope, a Balmer break, […]

Cross-correlating the patchy screening and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effects as a new probe of reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Darby Kramer, Alexander van Engelen, Christopher Cain, Niall MacCrann, Hy Trac | Summary: The kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (kSZ) and patchy screening effect are two complementary cosmic microwave background (CMB) probes of the reionization era. The kSZ effect is a relatively strong signal, but is difficult to disentangle […]

Episodic super-Eddington accretion as a clue to Overmassive Black Holes in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Trinca, Rosa Valiante, Raffaella Schneider, Ignas Juodžbalis, Roberto Maiolino | Summary: Early JWST observations are providing growing evidence for a ubiquitous population of accreting supermassive black holes (BHs) at high redshift, many of which appear overmassive compared to the empirically-derived local scaling relation between black hole […]
