We investigate the effects of massive black hole growth on the structural evolution of dwarf galaxies within the Romulus25 cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We study a sample of 228 central, isolated dwarf galaxies with stellar masses $M_{star} < 10^{10} M_odot$ and a central BH. We find that the local $M_{BH} - M_{star}$ relation exhibits a high degree of scatter below $M_{star} < 10^{10} M_odot$, which we use to classify BHs as overmassive or undermassive relative to their host $M_{star}$. Overmassive BHs grow through a mixture of BH mergers and relatively high average accretion rates, while undermassive BHs grow slowly through accretion. We find that isolated dwarf galaxies that host overmassive BHs also follow different evolutionary tracks relative to their undermassive BH counterparts, building up their stars and dark matter earlier and experiencing star formation suppression starting around $z=2$. By $z=0.05$, overmassive BH hosts above $M_{star} > 10^{9} M_odot$ are more likely to exhibit lower central stellar mass density, lower HI gas content, and lower star formation rates than their undermassive BH counterparts. Our results suggest that overmassive BHs in isolated galaxies above $M_{star} > 10^{9} M_odot$ are capable of driving feedback, in many cases suppressing and even quenching star formation by late times.

We use the textsc{Romulus25} cosmological simulation volume to identify the largest-ever simulated sample of {it field} ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). At $z=0$, we find that isolated UDGs have average star formation rates, colors, and virial masses f
or their stellar masses and environment. UDGs have moderately elevated HI masses, being 70% (300%) more HI-rich than typical isolated dwarf galaxies at luminosities brighter (fainter) than M$_mathrm{B}$=-14. However, UDGs are consistent with the general isolated dwarf galaxy population and make up $sim$20% of all field galaxies with 10$^7$<M$_star$/M$_odot$<10$^{9}$. The HI masses, effective radii, and overall appearances of our UDGs are consistent with existing observations of field UDGs, but we predict that many isolated UDGs have been missed by current surveys. Despite their isolation at $z=0$, the UDGs in our sample are the products of major mergers. Mergers are no more common in UDG than non-UDG progenitors, but mergers that create UDGs tend to happen earlier - almost never occurring after $z=1$, produce a temporary boost in spin, and cause star formation to be redistributed to the outskirts of galaxies, resulting in lower central star formation rates. The centers of the galaxies fade as their central stellar populations age, but their global star formation rates are maintained through bursts of star formation at larger radii, producing steeper negative g-r color gradients. This formation channel is unique relative to other proposals for UDG formation in isolated galaxies, demonstrating that UDGs can potentially be formed through multiple mechanisms.
By using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations we study the effect of supernova (SN) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on the mass transport of gas on to galactic nuclei and the black hole (BH) growth down to redshift z~6. We study the BH g
rowth in relation with the mass transport processes associated with gravity and pressure torques, and how they are modified by feedback. Cosmological gas funelled through cold flows reaches the galactic outer region close to free-fall. Then torques associated to pressure triggered by gas turbulent motions produced in the circum-galactic medium by shocks and explosions from SNe are the main source of mass transport beyond the central ~ 100 pc. Due to high concentrations of mass in the central galactic region, gravitational torques tend to be more important at high redshift. The combined effect of almost free-falling material and both gravity and pressure torques produces a mass accretion rate of order ~ 1 M_sun/yr at ~ pc scales. In the absence of SN feedback, AGN feedback alone does not affect significantly either star formation or BH growth until the BH reaches a sufficiently high mass of $sim 10^6$ M_sun to self-regulate. SN feedback alone, instead, decreases both stellar and BH growth. Finally, SN and AGN feedback in tandem efficiently quench the BH growth, while star formation remains at the levels set by SN feedback alone due to the small final BH mass, ~ few 10^5 M_sun. SNe create a more rarefied and hot environment where energy injection from the central AGN can accelerate the gas further.
We investigate black hole-host galaxy scaling relations in cosmological simulations with a self-consistent black hole growth and feedback model. The sub-grid accretion model captures the key scalings governing angular momentum transport from galactic
scales down to parsec scales, while our kinetic feedback implementation enables the injection of outflows with properties chosen to match observed nuclear outflows. We show that quasar mode feedback can have a large impact on the thermal properties of the intergalactic medium and the growth of galaxies and massive black holes for kinetic feedback efficiencies as low as 0.1% relative to the bolometric luminosity. Nonetheless, our simulations suggest that the black hole-host scaling relations are only weakly dependent on the effects of black hole feedback on galactic scales, owing to feedback suppressing the growth of galaxies and massive black holes by a similar amount. In contrast, the rate at which gravitational torques feed the central black hole relative to the host galaxy star formation rate governs the slope and normalization of the black hole-host correlations. Our results suggest that a common gas supply regulated by gravitational torques is the primary driver of the observed co-evolution of black holes and galaxies.
Star formation in the universes most massive galaxies proceeds furiously early in time but then nearly ceases. Plenty of hot gas remains available but does not cool and condense into star-forming clouds. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) release enough en
ergy to inhibit cooling of the hot gas, but energetic arguments alone do not explain why quenching of star formation is most effective in high-mass galaxies. In fact, optical observations show that quenching is more closely related to a galaxys central stellar velocity dispersion ($sigma_v$) than to any other characteristic. Here, we show that high $sigma_v$ is critical to quenching because a deep central potential well maximizes the efficacy of AGN feedback. In order to remain quenched, a galaxy must continually sweep out the gas ejected from its aging stars. Supernova heating can accomplish this task as long as the AGN sufficiently reduces the gas pressure of the surrounding circumgalactic medium (CGM). We find that CGM pressure acts as the control knob on a valve that regulates AGN feedback and suggest that feedback power self-adjusts so that it suffices to lift the CGM out of the galaxys potential well. Supernova heating then drives a galactic outflow that remains homogeneous if $sigma_v gtrsim 240 , {rm km , s^{-1}}$. AGN feedback can effectively quench galaxies with a comparable velocity dispersion, but feedback in galaxies with a much lower velocity dispersion tends to result in convective circulation and accumulation of multiphase gas within the galaxy.
The sample of dwarf galaxies with measured central black hole masses $M$ and velocity dispersions $sigma$ has recently doubled, and gives a close fit to the extrapolation of the $M propto sigma$ relation for more massive galaxies. We argue that this
is difficult to reconcile with suggestions that the scaling relations between galaxies and their central black holes are simply a statistical consequence of assembly through repeated mergers. This predicts black hole masses significantly larger than those observed in dwarf galaxies unless the initial distribution of uncorrelated seed black hole and stellar masses is confined to much smaller masses than earlier assumed. It also predicts a noticeable flattening of the $M propto sigma$ relation for dwarfs, to $M propto sigma^2$ compared with the observed $M propto sigma^4$. In contrast black hole feedback predicts that black hole masses tend towards a universal $M propto sigma^4$ relation in all galaxies, and correctly gives the properties of powerful outflows recently observed in dwarf galaxies. These considerations emphasize once again that the fundamental physical black-hole -- galaxy scaling relation is between $M$ and $sigma$. The relation of $M$ to the bulge mass $M_b$ is acausal, and depends on the quite independent connection between $M_b$ and $sigma$ set by stellar feedback.
