Journal ArticleDOI

Building galaxies by accretion and in-situ star formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the evolution of 611 massive (M\ast > 10^10M\odot) galaxies and found that the fraction of the final stellar mass which is accreted from other galaxies is between 15 and 40% and increases with stellar mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotating Accretion Flows: From Infinity to the Black Hole

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the ZEUS code to run hydrodynamical simulations of rotating, axisymmetric accretion flows with Bremsstrahlung cooling, considering solutions for which the centrifugal balance radius significantly exceeds the Schwarzschild radius.
Journal ArticleDOI

A two-parameter matching scheme for massive galaxies and dark matter haloes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a connection between initial dark matter density perturbations in the early universe and present-day virialized dark matter haloes by assuming simple spherical collapse combined with conservation of mass and energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation-driven outflows in AGNs: revisiting feedback effects of scattered and reprocessed photons

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of slowly rotating accretion flows in the region of $ 0.01-7\, \mathrm{pc} $ around a supermassive black hole with M BH = 10^{8} M_{\odot}
Journal ArticleDOI

Accuracy of the Mass Determinations of Non-Pulsating Binary X-ray Sources

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the uncertainties involved in the determination of the masses of the X-ray emitting components of binaries in which the visible component is an early-type supergiant and the x-ray source does not show regular pulsations.
