Romulus Simulation

Caption

This is an image from the Romulus simulation depicting the network of structures that assemble on intergalactic scales, revealing where the galaxies hosting black holes form. More massive galaxies that host more massive black holes tend to live in hotter (red) regions, while lower-mass galaxies live in colder (blue) regions and harbor smaller black holes.
