Retrograde versus Prograde Models of Accreting Black Holes
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 There is a general consensus that magnetic fields, accretion disks, and rotating black holes are instrumental in the generation of the most powerful sources of energy in the known universe. Nonetheless, because magnetized accretion onto rotating black holes involves both the complications of nonlinear magnetohydrodynamics that currently cannot fully be

The Kiloparsec-scale Influence of the AGN in NGC 1068 with SALT RSS Fabry–Pérot Spectroscopy
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present Fabry–Pérot (FP) imaging and longslit spectroscopy of the nearby Seyfert II galaxy NGC 1068 using the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) on the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) to observe the impact of the central active galactic nucleus (

M94 as a Unique Testbed for Black Hole Mass Estimates and AGN Activity at Low Luminosities
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We discuss the peculiar nature of the nucleus of M94 (NGC 4736) in the context of new measurements of the broad Hα emission from HST‐STIS observations. We show that this component is unambiguously associated with the high‐resolution X‐ray, radio, and variable UV sources detected at the optical nucleus of this galaxy.

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.

Continuous Filament Network of the Local Universe
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Simulated galaxy distributions are suitable for developing filament detection algorithms. However, samples of observed galaxies, being of limited size, cause difficulties that lead to a discontinuous distribution of filaments.
