Modelling the uv/x-ray cosmic background with CUBA
read the original abstract
In this paper, I will describe the features of the numerical code CUBA, aimed at the solution of the radiative transfer equation in a cosmological context. CUBA will be soon available for public use at the URL http://pitto.mib.infn.it/~haardt/, allowing for several user-supplied input parameters, such as favourite cosmology, luminosity functions, Type II object evolution, stellar spectra, and many others. I will also present some new results of the UV/X-ray cosmic background as produced by the observed populations of QSOs and star forming galaxies, updating and extending our previous works. The background evolution is complemented with a number of derived quantities such as the ionization and thermal state of the IGM, the HeII opacity, the HI and HeII ionization rates, and the HI, HeII and Compton heating rates.

Survival is not Enough: Dust Sputtering, Growth, and H$_2$ Formation in Galactic Winds
Entrained clouds form high H2 fractions only with dust growth at densities ≳10–30 times the cloud-survival critical density; without growth, DGR dilution and sputtering keep them atomic.

RABBITS IV: Stellar feedback and SMBH merging time-scales in the sub-Milky Way mass regime
Stronger stellar feedback lowers central stellar densities in low-mass merger remnants and systematically lengthens SMBH merger delays, yielding a 30–500 Myr spread in post-hardening coalescence times.

What's Missing in AGN Feedback? Lessons learnt from Magneticum, IllustrisTNG and Simba
No current simulation simultaneously reproduces observed halo hot-gas fractions and local galaxy star-formation/quenching demographics; strong AGN feedback overquenches, weak feedback retains too much gas.

Baryonic assembly bias in X-ray-selected galaxy groups and clusters: insights from the Magneticum simulation
At fixed halo mass in Magneticum, X-ray-bright (and especially gas-rich) groups show higher large-scale bias than faint/poor ones, largely explained by formation time.

Rapid sinking and efficient mergers of supermassive black holes in compact high-redshift galaxies
Cosmological zoom-in simulations demonstrate rapid SMBH mergers in dense high-z galaxies within 4-35 Myr after binary binding, matching JWST compact galaxy observations.

Interpretable machine learning of halo gas density profiles: a sensitivity analysis of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
Random forests reproduce simulated halo gas density profiles to roughly 80-90% accuracy, and Sobol analysis of those forests ranks halo mass and central gas mass as the dominant predictors across EAGLE, IllustrisTNG, ...

A RELHIC twin candidate near the galaxy M51
Two starless hydrogen clouds near M51 are promising but unconfirmed dark galaxy candidates; follow-up interferometry is needed to rule out tidal debris.

Columba: isolated dwarf galaxy populations in diverse cosmological environments simulated with a cold interstellar medium
New hydrodynamical simulations show that dwarf galaxy stellar mass-halo mass relations and star formation histories are more influenced by host halo concentration than by the 5 cMpc scale environment.
