Astronomers are among the most international of scientists. Yet chauvinism surfaces on a cosmic scale where the anxious search for a massive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy is concerned. The prodigious amounts of energy emitted from tiny regions at the centres of some nearby galaxies imply that they contain accreting black holes of ...

Jacob Bekenstein, 1973
There are a number of similarities between black-hole physics and thermodynamics. Most striking is the similarity in the behaviors of black-hole area and of entropy: Both quantities tend to increase irreversibly. In this paper we make this similarity the

Review of Finance, 2004 Summary: Traders with short horizons and privately known loss limits interact in a market for a risky asset. Risk-averse, long horizon traders generate a downward sloping residual demand curve that faces the short-horizon traders. When the price falls close to the loss limits of the short horizon traders, selling of the risky asset by any trader ...

The article discusses the prevention of the formation of black holes as a result of quantum effects and how these effects may give rise to dense entities called black stars instead. Topics include an overview of the theoretical physics of black holes, such as Einstein's field equations from his general relativity theory, a description and analysis of ...

Tests for the existence of black holes through gravitational wave echoes
Nature Astronomy, 2017The existence of black holes and spacetime singularities is a fundamental issue in science. Despite this, observations supporting their existence are scarce, and their interpretation is unclear.

The close environments of accreting massive black holes are shaped by radiative feedback
Nature, 2017The majority of the accreting supermassive black holes in the Universe are obscured by large columns of gas and dust. The location and evolution of this obscuring material have been the subject of intense research in the past decades, and are still ...

Abstract A black hole is an object that is inside its event horizon at r=r*: a one-way surface that particles and light can only traverse inward. This chapter studies the spherically symmetric nonrotating Schwarzschild black hole. The metric elements change their respective signs when crossing from r>r∗ to r<r*, leading to ...
