Abstract Since its observation in 2019, the first image of a super‐massive black hole using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) with an Earth‐scale baseline has generated much scientific and public interest. Work is now underway to extend the baseline into space to obtain higher image resolution.

Primordial black holes in non-linear perturbation theory
PhDThe thesis begins with a study of the origin of non-linear cosmological fluctuations. In particular, a class of models of multiple field inflation are considered, with specific reference to those cases in which the non-Gaussian correlation functions

X-rays from Compton scattering around accreting black holes [PDF]
Compton scattering is one of the most important radiation processes from accreting compact objects. Hard X-rays can be produced by Compton upscattering of soft seed photons from the accretion disk.

Super-Eddington Accretion onto Black Holes and Its Application to Fallback Accretion
We study the problem of steady-state spherical accretion onto a black hole, in which the internal energy of the flow is governed by radiation and photon diffusion dominates the energy flux at large radii.

Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.

Perturbations around black holes
Perturbations around black holes have been an intriguing topic in the last few decades. They are particularly important today, since they relate to the gravitational wave observations which may provide the unique fingerprint of black holes' existence ...

Circularly Expanding Ring‐Shaped Pulsating Aurora Visualizing the Source of Plasma Waves in Space
Abstract Pulsating aurorae are prominent auroral emissions in the polar regions, typically occurring in the morning hours during the recovery phase of auroral substorms. These aurorae usually consist of round‐shaped patches of emission, with luminosity that pulsates at intervals ranging from less than a second to several tens of seconds.

The idea that black hole spin is instrumental in the generation of powerful jets in active galactic nuclei and X-ray binaries is arguably the most contentious claim in black hole astrophysics.

Scalar-Tensor Black Holes Embedded in an Expanding Universe
In this review, we focus our attention on scalar-tensor gravity models and their empirical verification in terms of black hole and wormhole physics.

Exploring Potential Mechanisms for the Initiation of Solifluction Patterns
Abstract Hillslopes in arctic regions commonly display large‐scale features—known as solifluction patterns—that form due to the exceedingly slow downhill movement of frost‐heaved soil. Here we use a combination of remote sensing data, linear stability analysis, numerical modeling, and review of a wide range of literature to evaluate several working ...
