We ask how the inclusion of various physical heating processes due to the metal content of gas affect the evolution of massive galaxies and compute a suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations that follow these systems and their supermassive black holes. We use a smoothed particle hydrodynamics code with a pressure-entropy formulation and a more accurate treatment of the metal production, turbulent diffusion and cooling rate based on individual element abundances. The feedback models include (1) AGN feedback via high velocity BAL winds and Compton/photoionization heating, (2) explicit stellar feedback from multiple processes including powerful winds from supernova events, stellar winds from young massive stars and AGB stars as well as radiative heating within Stromgren spheres around massive stars, and (3) additional heating effects due to the presence of metals including grain photoelectric heating, metallicity dependent X-ray heating by nearby accreting black holes and from the cosmic X-ray background, which are the major improvement in our feedback model. With a suite of zoom-in simulations of 30 halos with $M_{vir} sim 10^{12-13.4}$, we show that energy and momentum budget from all feedback effects generate realistic galaxy properties. We explore the detailed role of each feedback model with three additional sets of simulations with varying input physics. We show that the metal induced heating mechanisms reduce the fraction of accreted stellar material by mainly suppressing the growth of diffuse small stellar systems at high redshift but overall have a relatively minor effect on the final stellar and gas properties of massive galaxies. The inclusion of AGN feedback significantly improves the ability of our cosmological simulations to yield realistic gas and stellar properties of massive galaxies with reasonable fraction of the final stellar mass accreted from other galaxies.

We reason that, without physical fine-tuning, neither the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) nor the stellar bulges can self-regulate or inter-regulate by driving away already fallen cold gas to produce the observed correlation between them. We suggest
an alternative scenario where the observed mass ratios of the SMBHs to bulges reflect the angular momentum distribution of infallen gas such that the mass reaching the stable accretion disc is a small fraction of that reaching the bulge region, averaged over the cosmological time scales. We test this scenario using high resolution, large-scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations (without AGN feedback), assuming the angular momentum distribution of gas landing in the bulge region to yield a Mestel disc that is supported by independent simulations resolving the Bondi radii of SMBHs. A mass ratio of $0.1-0.3%$ between the very low angular momentum gas that free-falls to the sub-parsec region to accrete to the SMBH and the overall star formation rate is found. This ratio is found to increase with increasing redshift to within a factor of $sim 2$, suggesting that the SMBH to bulge ratio is nearly redshift independent, with a modest increase with redshift, a testable prediction. Furthermore, the duty cycle of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with high Eddington ratios is expected to increase significantly with redshift. Finally, while SMBHs and bulges are found to coevolve on $sim 30-150$Myr time scales or longer, there is indication that, on shorer time scales, the SMBH accretion rate and star formation may be less correlated.
We introduce massive black holes (BHs) in the Feedback In Realistic Environments project and perform high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of quasar-mass halos ($M_{rm halo}(z=2) approx 10^{12.5},rm{M}_{odot}$) down to $z=1$. These si
mulations model stellar feedback by supernovae, stellar winds, and radiation, and BH growth using a gravitational torque-based prescription tied to resolved properties of galactic nuclei. We do not include BH feedback. We show that early BH growth occurs through short ($lesssim 1,$Myr) accretion episodes that can reach or even exceed the Eddington rate. In this regime, BH growth is limited by bursty stellar feedback continuously evacuating gas from galactic nuclei, and BHs remain under-massive relative to the local $M_{rm BH}$-$M_{rm bulge}$ relation. BH growth is more efficient at later times, when the nuclear stellar potential retains a significant gas reservoir, star formation becomes less bursty, and galaxies settle into a more ordered state, with BHs rapidly converging onto the scaling relation when the host reaches $M_{rm bulge} sim 10^{10},rm{M}_{odot}$. Our results are not sensitive to the details of the accretion model so long as BH growth is tied to the gas content within $sim 100,$pc of the BH. Our simulations imply that bursty stellar feedback has strong implications for BH and AGN demographics, especially in the early Universe and for low-mass galaxies.
We study the late-time evolution of the central regions of two Milky Way-like simulations of galaxies formed in a cosmological context, one hosting a fast bar and the other a slow one. We find that bar length, R_b, measurements fluctuate on a dynamic
al timescale by up to 100%, depending on the spiral structure strength and measurement threshold. The bar amplitude oscillates by about 15%, correlating with R_b. The Tremaine-Weinberg-method estimates of the bars instantaneous pattern speeds show variations around the mean of up to ~20%, typically anti-correlating with the bar length and strength. Through power spectrum analyses, we establish that these bar pulsations, with a period in the range ~60-200 Myr, result from its interaction with multiple spiral modes, which are coupled with the bar. Because of the presence of odd spiral modes, the two bar halves typically do not connect at exactly the same time to a spiral arm, and their individual lengths can be significantly offset. We estimated that in about 50% of bar measurements in Milky Way-mass external galaxies, the bar lengths of SBab type galaxies are overestimated by ~15% and those of SBbc types by ~55%. Consequently, bars longer than their corotation radius reported in the literature, dubbed ultra-fast bars, may simply correspond to the largest biases. Given that the Scutum-Centaurus arm is likely connected to the near half of the Milky Way bar, recent direct measurements may be overestimating its length by 1-1.5 kpc, while its present pattern speed may be 5-10 km/s/kpc smaller than its time-averaged value.
We investigate the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect caused by primordial black holes (PBHs) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations. The gas accreting on a PBH heats up by the release of the gravitational energy. As a result, t
he heated gas in the vicinity of the PBH emits the UV and X-ray photons. These photons can ionize and heat the intergalactic medium (IGM) around the PBH. Assuming the simple model of these emitting photons, we compute the profiles of the IGM ionization fraction and temperature around a PBH. Using these profiles, we evaluate the Compton $y$-parameter created by the IGM gas around a PBH. Finally, we estimate the CMB temperature angular power spectrum due to the PBH SZ effect in our model. We show that the SZ temperature anisotropy due to the PBHs has the flat angular power spectrum on small scale, $lleq2000$ and could dominate the primordial temperature spectrum on smaller scales than the Silk scale. This flat spectrum extends to the scale of the ionized region by the PBH emission. We also discuss the impact of the small-scale CMB measurement on the PBH abundance based on our results.
We examine the effects of SMBH feedback on the CGM using a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation citep[{sc Romulus25};][]{Tremmel2017} and a set of four zoom-in `genetically modified Milky Way-mass galaxies sampling different evolutionary paths. By tr
acing the distribution of metals in the circumgalactic medium (CGM), we show that ion{O}{6} is a sensitive indicator of supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback. First, we calculate the column densities of ion{O}{6} in simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies and compare them with observations from the COS-Halos Survey. Our simulations show column densities of ion{O}{6} in the CGM consistent with those of COS-Halos star forming and quenched galaxies. These results contrast with those from previous simulation studies which typically underproduce CGM column densities of ion{O}{6}. We determine that a galaxys star formation history and assembly record have little effect on the amount of ion{O}{6} in its CGM. Instead, column densities of ion{O}{6} are closely tied to galaxy halo mass and BH growth history. The set of zoom-in, genetically modified Milky Way-mass galaxies indicates that the SMBH drives highly metal-enriched material out into its host galaxys halo which in turn elevates the column densities of ion{O}{6} in the CGM.
