We propose the formation of massive pristine dark-matter (DM) halos with masses of $sim 10^8~M_odot$, due to the dynamical effects of frequent mergers in rare regions of the Universe with high baryonic streaming velocity relative to DM. Since the streaming motion prevents gas collapse into DM halos and delays prior star formation episodes, the gas remains metal-free until the halo virial temperatures $gtrsim 2times 10^4~{rm K}$. The minimum cooling mass of DM halos is boosted by a factor of $sim 10-30$ because frequent major mergers of halos further inhibit gas collapse. We use Monte Carlo merger trees to simulate the DM assembly history under a streaming velocity of twice the root-mean-square value, and estimate the number density of massive DM halos containing pristine gas as $simeq 10^{-4}~{rm cMpc}^{-3}$. When the gas infall begins, efficient Ly$alpha$ cooling drives cold streams penetrating inside the halo and feeding a central galactic disk. When one stream collides with the disk, strong shock forms a dense and hot gas cloud, where the gas never forms H$_2$ molecules due to effective collisional dissociation. As a result, a massive gas cloud forms by gravitational instability and collapses directly into a massive black hole (BH) with $M_bullet sim 10^5~M_odot$. Almost simultaneously, a galaxy with $M_{star, rm tot}sim 10^6~M_odot$ composed of Population III stars forms in the nuclear region. If the typical stellar mass is as high as $sim 100~M_odot$, the galaxy could be detected with the James Webb Space Telescope even at $zgtrsim 15$. These massive seed BHs would be fed by continuous gas accretion from the host galaxy, and grow to be bright quasars observed at $zgtrsim 6$.

Using observations in the COSMOS field, we report an intriguing correlation between the star formation activity of massive (~10^{11.4}msol) central galaxies, their stellar masses, and the large-scale (~10 Mpc) environments of their group-mass (~10^{1 3.6}msol) dark matter halos. Probing the redshift range z=[0.2,1.0], our measurements come from two independent sources: an X-ray detected group catalog and constraints on the stellar-to-halo mass relation derived from a combination of clustering and weak lensing statistics. At z=1, we find that the stellar mass in star-forming centrals is a factor of two less than in passive centrals at the same halo mass. This implies that the presence or lack of star formation in group-scale centrals cannot be a stochastic process. By z=0, the offset reverses, probably as a result of the different growth rates of these objects. A similar but weaker trend is observed when dividing the sample by morphology rather than star formation. Remarkably, we find that star-forming centrals at z~1 live in groups that are significantly more clustered on 10 Mpc scales than similar mass groups hosting passive centrals. We discuss this signal in the context of halo assembly and recent simulations, suggesting that star-forming centrals prefer halos with higher angular momentum and/or formation histories with more recent growth; such halos are known to evolve in denser large-scale environments. If confirmed, this would be evidence of an early established link between the assembly history of halos on large scales and the future properties of the galaxies that form inside them.
Observational studies of nearby galaxies have demonstrated correlations between the mass of the central supermassive black holes (BHs) and properties of the host galaxies, notably the stellar bulge mass or central stellar velocity dispersion. Motivat ed by these correlations, the theoretical paradigm has emerged, in which BHs and bulges co-evolve. However, this picture was challenged by observational and theoretical studies, which hinted that the fundamental connection may be between BHs and dark matter halos, and not necessarily with their host galaxies. Based on a study of 3130 elliptical galaxies $-$ selected from the Sloan Digital and ROSAT All Sky Surveys $-$ we demonstrate that the central stellar velocity dispersion exhibits a significantly tighter correlation with the total gravitating mass, traced by the X-ray luminosity of the hot gas, than with the stellar mass. This hints that the central stellar velocity dispersion, and hence the central gravitational potential, may be the fundamental property of elliptical galaxies that is most tightly connected to the larger-scale dark matter halo. Furthermore, using the central stellar velocity dispersion as a surrogate for the BH mass, we find that in elliptical galaxies the inferred BH mass and inferred total gravitating mass within the virial radius (or within five effective radii) can be expressed as $M_{rm{BH}} propto M_{rm tot}^{1.6^{+0.6}_{-0.4}} $ (or $M_{rm{BH}} propto M_{rm{5r_{eff}}}^{1.8^{+0.7}_{-0.6}}$). These results are consistent with a picture in which the BH mass is directly set by the central stellar velocity dispersion, which, in turn, is determined by the total gravitating mass of the system.
There is now a large consensus that the current epoch of the Cosmic Star Formation History (CSFH) is dominated by low mass galaxies while the most active phase at 1<z<2 is dominated by more massive galaxies, which undergo a faster evolution. Massive galaxies tend to inhabit very massive halos such as galaxy groups and clusters. We aim to understand whether the observed galaxy downsizing could be interpreted as a halo downsizing, whereas the most massive halos, and their galaxy populations, evolve more rapidly than the halos of lower mass. Thus, we study the contribution to the CSFH of galaxies inhabiting group-sized halos. This is done through the study of the evolution of the Infra-Red (IR) luminosity function of group galaxies from redshift 0 to ~1.6. We use a sample of 39 X-ray selected groups in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), the Chandra Deep Field North (CDFN), and the COSMOS field, where the deepest available mid- and far-IR surveys have been conducted with Spitzer MIPS and Hersche PACS. Groups at low redshift lack the brightest, rarest, and most star forming IR-emitting galaxies observed in the field. Their IR-emitting galaxies contribute <10% of the comoving volume density of the whole IR galaxy population in the local Universe. At redshift >~1, the most IR-luminous galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs) are preferentially located in groups, and this is consistent with a reversal of the star-formation rate vs .density anti-correlation observed in the nearby Universe. At these redshifts, group galaxies contribute 60-80% of the CSFH, i.e. much more than at lower redshifts. Below z~1, the comoving number and SFR densities of IR-emitting galaxies in groups decline significantly faster than those of all IR-emitting galaxies. Our results are consistent with a halo downsizing scenario and highlight the significant role of environment quenching in shaping the CSFH.
Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with physically motivated models of super-massive black hole (SMBH) formation and growth, we compare the assembly of Milky Way-mass ( $M_{mathrm{vir}} approx 7 times 10^{11}$ $M_{odot}$ at $z = 0$) galaxies in cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models. Our SIDM model adopts a constant cross-section of 1 cm$^2$/g. We find that SMBH formation is suppressed in the early universe due to SIDM coring. SMBH-SMBH mergers are also suppressed in SIDM as a consequence of the lower number of SMBHs formed. Lack of initial merger-driven SMBH growth in turn delays SMBH growth by billions of years in SIDM compared to CDM. Further, we find that this delayed growth suppresses SMBH accretion in the largest progenitors of the main SIDM galaxies during the first 5 Gyrs of their evolution. Nonetheless, by $z = 0.8$ the CDM and SIDM SMBH masses differ only by around 0.2 dex, so that both remain compatible with the $M_{BH}-M_{*}$ relation. We show that the reduced accretion causes the SIDM SMBHs to less aggressively regulate star formation in their host galaxies than their CDM counterparts, resulting in a factor of 3 or more stars being produced over the lifetime of the SIDM galaxies compared to the CDM galaxies. Our results highlight a new way in which SIDM can affect the growth and merger history of SMBHs and ultimately give rise to very different galaxy evolution compared to the classic CDM model.
We explore for the first time the effect of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the dark matter (DM) and baryonic distribution in massive galaxies formed in hydrodynamical cosmological simulations, including explicit baryonic physics treatment. A novel implementation of Super-Massive Black Hole (SMBH) formation and evolution is used, as in Tremmel et al.(2015, 2016), allowing to explicitly follow SMBH dynamics at the center of galaxies. A high SIDM constant cross-section is chosen, $sigma$=10 $rm cm^2/gr$, to amplify differences from CDM models. Milky Way-like galaxies form a shallower DM density profile in SIDM than they do in CDM, with differences already at 20 kpc scales. This demonstrates that even for the most massive spirals the effect of SIDM dominates over the adiabatic contraction due to baryons. Strikingly, the dynamics of SMBHs differs in the SIDM and reference CDM case. SMBHs in massive spirals have sunk to the centre of their host galaxy in both the SIDM and CDM run, while in less massive galaxies about 80$%$ of the SMBH population is off-centered in the SIDM case, as opposed to the CDM case in which $sim$90$%$ of SMBHs have reached their hosts centre. SMBHs are found as far as $sim$9 kpc away from the centre of their host SIDM galaxy. This difference is due to the increased dynamical friction timescale caused by the lower DM density in SIDM galaxies compared to CDM, resulting in core stalling. This pilot work highlights the importance of simulating in a full hydrodynamical context different DM models combined to SMBH physics to study their influence on galaxy formation.
