Strong deflection gravitational lensing by a modified Hayward black hole

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
A modified Hayward black hole is a nonsingular black hole. It is proposed that it would form when the pressure generated by quantum gravity can stop matter’s collapse as the matter reaches the Planck density.

Supermassive black holes with stellar companions

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 1994
Low‐mass stars in close orbits around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) may provide an important signature for testing the existence of supermassive black holes. Here we discuss how such systems can form by being ‘‘ground down’’ by their interaction with an AGN accretion disk and discuss the peculiarities of such binaries with ...

Impact of supermassive black hole growth on star formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
\ua9 2017 Macmillan Publishers Limited. Supermassive black holes are found at the centres of massive galaxies. During the growth of these black holes they light up to become visible as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and release extraordinary amounts of ...

Fundamental physics opportunities with the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration recently published the first images of the supermassive black holes in the cores of the Messier 87 and Milky Way galaxies.

Dark matter annihilation via Breit-Wigner enhancement with heavier mediator

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
We propose a new scenario that both the dark matter freeze-out in the early Universe and its possible annihilation for indirect detection around a supermassive black hole are enhanced by a Breit-Wigner resonance.

Relativistic Aspects of Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Their Natural Habitat: A Review

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
In this review a summary is given on recent theoretical work, on understanding accreting supermassive black hole binaries in the gravitational wave (GW)-driven regime. A particular focus is given to theoretical predictions of properties of disks and jets

Possibility of measuring spin precession of the nearest supermassive black hole by using S stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a mass of 4 million M-circle dot inside the radio source Sgr A* in our Galactic center is the nearest SMBH. Once S stars with a shorter period are observed, relativistic precessions especially the Lense-Thirring ...

Primordial Origins of Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
At the center of the Milky Way sits a supermassive black hole named Sagittarius A*1, which is over a million times the mass of our sun. Other galaxy centers host similar black holes which are up to thousands of times larger than even Sagittarius A*. Some

Supermassive Black Hole Masses of AGNs with Elliptical Hosts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The recently discovered tight correlation between supermassive black hole mass and central velocity dispersion for both inactive and active galaxies suggests a possibility to estimate the black hole mass from the measured central velocity dispersion ...
