Description
In this talk, I will present the "Beyond" simulation project, a series of hydrodynamical simulations conducted using the AREPO code. I introduce a novel, physically motivated, approach to SMBH feedback, dynamically adjusting feedback efficiency and implementation based on the evolving properties of SMBHs.
The results reveal how this feedback mechanism shapes the properties of galaxies and halos across mass ranges, from dwarfs to clusters, and over cosmic epochs, from high redshift to the present. Importantly, we analyze feedback effects on scales ranging from the galactic scales to regions beyond the halo boundary, extending out to the closure radius. I evaluate these results through direct comparisons with observational data from galaxy surveys such as SDSS and DESI at low redshifts, and JWST at high redshifts, as well as gas observations from facilities like XMM-Newton, ALMA, and others. I highlight the role of SMBH feedback in regulating star formation, driving gas circulation, and reshaping gas distribution out to the closure radius.
Finally, I will discuss the implications of this feedback model for understanding galaxy evolution and its potential for future studies and collaborations.
