Could intermediate-mass black hole activity resolve the long-standing problems with dwarf galaxies in cosmological simulations?
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Ryan Hickox
This year, the Chandra X-ray Observatory is celebrating its 20-year legacy. Dr. Ryan Hickox of Dartmouth College will explain how the resulting discoveries have shaped our view of the high-energy universe in his plenary talk at #AAS233.

Feeding black holes, up close and personal
Do we really understand how black holes grow? Using new methods to run high resolution simulations, the authors of this paper investigate the evolution of gas near a supermassive black hole – and their results have serious implications for the models commonly used in cosmological simulations.
