With galaxy formation simulations pushing to the sub-parsec regime and beyond, this workshop will bring together the small-scale and large-scale simulation communities to review simulating AGN across all aspects: seeding, accretion, feedback, and dynamics. The key conference goal is to generate discussion and facilitate new collaborations across the scales, with a focus on four key questions:
- How do we implement the different theoretical seeding models into galaxy formation simulations, and can we use these to make testable predictions for future (and current) observational facilities?
- How will the next generation of large-scale models bridge the gap between black hole accretion discs and galaxies?
- How can we self-consistently model accretion and feedback across a range of regimes and scales?
- How can we accurately model black hole dynamics in galaxy formation simulations given the advent of multi-messenger astronomy?
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION WILL CLOSE ON JUNE 23RD END OF DAY US PACIFIC TIME. We expect to select about 50 contributed talks. Not all abstracts may be selected for a talk if we are oversubscribed.
We expect to announce the contributed talk selections by the end of July.
