13 Dec 2019 | | Abstract: | 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. | | Source: | arXiv, 1912.6646 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
