Star formation in southern Seyfert galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 We have produced radio maps, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, of the central regions of six southern type 2 Seyfert galaxies (NGC 1365, 4945, 6221, 6810, 7582 and Circinus) with circumnuclear star formation, to estimate the relative contribution of star formation activity compared to activity from the active galactic nucleus (AGN).

Physik in unserer Zeit, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 30-37, January 2025.Galaxien wie die Milchstraße sind umhüllt von einem gigantischen Kokon aus diffusem Gas. Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse belegen, dass dieses zirkumgalakische Medium eine entscheidende Rolle für die Entstehung und Entwicklung von Galaxien spielt. Zusammenfassung Als zirkumgalaktisches Medium bezeichnet man die gasförmigen Hüllen von Galaxien, die sich ...

Recoiling Black Holes: Electromagnetic Signatures, Candidates, and Astrophysical Implications
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) may not always reside right at the centers of their host galaxies. This is a prediction of numerical relativity simulations, which imply that the newly formed single SMBH, after binary coalescence in a galaxy merger, can receive kick velocities up to several 1000 km/s due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves ...

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

The Cosmic History of Black Hole Growth from Deep Multiwavelength Surveys
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Significant progress has been made in the last few years on understanding how supermassive black holes form and grow. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the spectral signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGN) ranging from radio to hard X‐ray wavelengths.

AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale.

A Practical Guide to the Massive Black Hole Cosmic History
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 I review our current understanding of massive black hole (MBH) formation and evolution along the cosmic history. After a brief introductory overview of the relevance of MBHs in the hierarchical structure formation paradigm, I discuss the main viable channels for seed BH formation at high redshift and for their subsequent mass growth and spin evolution.

Compact radio cores in Seyfert galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 We have observed a sample of 157 Seyfert galaxies with a 275 km baseline radio interferometer to search for compact, high brightness temperature radio emission from the active nucleus. We obtain the surprising result that compact radio cores are much more common in Seyfert 2 than in Seyfert 1 galaxies, which at first seems to be inconsistent with ...
