Not all peaks are created equal: the early growth of supermassive black holes
ABSTRACT In this work, we use the constrained Gaussian realization technique to study the early growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, exploring its relationship with features of the initial density peaks on large scales, ∼ 1 h−1Mpc. Our constrained simulations of volume (20 h−1Mpc)3 successfully reconstruct …
