abstract
We present new results from the ASTRID simulation from $z=3$ to $z=0.5$, covering the epoch of cosmic noon. The galaxy stellar mass function, as well as the black hole mass and luminosity functions in ASTRID, exhibit good agreement with recent observational constraints. We study the $M_{\rm BH}$-$M_*$ scaling relation and its connections to AGN luminosity, galaxy color, and star formation rate, demonstrating that AGN feedback plays a crucial role in the quenching of massive galaxies ($M_*>10^{10.5} M_{\odot}$). Although AGN feedback suppresses star formation through quenching, AGN-host galaxies still exhibit statistically higher levels of star formation compared to inactive ones, due to the positive correlation between AGN activity and star formation, both fueled by a shared gas reservoir. The fraction of quiescent galaxies in ASTRID increases with both galaxy mass and redshift evolution, aligning well with observational trends. We find that different quenching mechanisms can leave distinct morphological imprints on quenched galaxies. Massive, compact quiescent galaxies typically experience shorter quenching timescales, have younger central regions, and host overmassive black holes. This is usually due to a compaction-like quenching mechanism that funnels gas into the galaxy center, leading to starbursts and triggering AGN kinetic feedback. In contrast, quiescent galaxies with more diffuse morphologies generally experience `inside-out' quenching, which is characterized by older central regions compared to the outskirts. These galaxies typically experience longer quenching timescales due to quenching processes operating on a larger halo scale, which gradually deplete the galactic star-forming gas. Data of the \astrid simulation down to $z=0.5$ is available at \url{https://astrid.psc.edu}.

A prevalent population of normal-mass central black holes in high-redshift massive galaxies
A galaxy-based JWST search finds 13 broad-line AGNs in massive galaxies at z~3-5 with normal black hole-to-stellar mass ratios near the local value, indicating that overmassive black holes are not the only early pathway.

Tracing black hole and galaxy growth across environments since cosmic noon
Central black holes in ASTRID and TNG300 follow a tight, redshift-invariant M_BH–M_⋆ relation from z=2 to 0.5; departures mark merger-driven high-mass quenchers, tidally stripped overmassive satellites, and undermassi...
