Growth of massive black holes at high-z via accretion predominantly driven by magnetic outflows.

LI J. and CAO X.

Abstract (from CDS):

Luminous quasars powered by accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been found in the early universe at z≳7.5, which set a strong constraint on both the seed black hole (BH) mass and the rapid growth of the SMBHs. In this work, we explore how the SMBHs grow through Eddington-limited accretion driven predominantly by magnetic outflows. Most angular momentum and the released gravitational energy in the disk can be removed by magnetic outflows, therefore the mass-accretion rate of the BH can be high even if the disk is radiating at sub-Eddington luminosity. It is found that the SMBH with several billion solar masses discovered at z≳7 may be grown through chaotic accretion predominantly driven by magnetic outflows from a stellar mass BH, when the disks are radiating at moderate luminosity (∼0.5 Eddington luminosity) with mild outflows. We find that most SMBHs are spinning at moderate values of spin parameter a*, which implies only a small fraction of quasars may have radio jets.
