The Relation between Quasar and Merging Galaxy Luminosity Functions and the Merger‐driven Star Formation History of the Universe
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
Using a model for the self-regulated growth of supermassive BHs in mergers involving gas-rich galaxies, we study the relationship between quasars and the population of merging galaxies and predict the merger-driven SFR ...
The Kinematic Structure of Merger Remnants
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
Molecular Outflows in Galaxy Merger Simulations with Embedded Active Galactic Nuclei
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
We study the effects of feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) on emission from molecular gas in galaxy mergers by combining hydrodynamic simulations that include black holes with a three-dimensional, non-local ...
A Merger‐driven Scenario for Cosmological Disk Galaxy Formation
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
The hierarchical nature of the boolean AND CDM cosmology poses serious difficulties for the formation of disk galaxies. To help resolve these issues, we describe a new, merger-driven scenario for the cosmological formation ...
A Unified, Merger‐driven Model of the Origin of Starbursts, Quasars, the Cosmic X‐Ray Background, Supermassive Black Holes, and Galaxy Spheroids
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
We present an evolutionary model for starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies in which mergers between gas-rich galaxies drive nuclear inflows of gas, producing starbursts and feeding the buried growth of supermassive ...
The Fundamental Scaling Relations of Elliptical Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
We examine the fundamental scaling relations of elliptical galaxies formed through mergers. Using hundreds of simulations to judge the impact of progenitor galaxy properties on the properties of merger remnants, we find ...
X‐Ray Emission from Hot Gas in Galaxy Mergers
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
An Upper Limit to the Degree of Evolution between Supermassive Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
We describe a model-independent integral constraint that defines an upper limit to the allowed degree of evolution in the ratio of black hole (BH) mass to host galaxy luminosity or mass, as a function of redshift. Essentially, ...
