Supermassive black holes: Coevolution (or not) of black holes and host galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012
AbstractSupermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 75 galaxies by observing spatially resolved dynamics. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) revolutionized BH work by advancing the subject from its ‘proof of concept’ phase into quantitative studies of BH demographics.

Black hole entropy and models [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
No universally accepted statistical explanation of black hole entropy exists up to now, therefore, it is worth another try. Admittedly, black hole entropy does not have to have a statistical origin. If the "black hole entropy" is called "black hole index"

High-energy signatures of binary supermassive black holes

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Some active galactic nuclei are supposed to harbor binary systems of supermassive black holes. They are an attractive target for gravitational wave experiments.

Supermassive black hole mergers as dual sources for electromagnetic flares in the jet emission and gravitational waves

open access: yes, 2013
We present a new type of observation relating the gravitational wave emission of supermassive black hole mergers to their electromagnetic counterparts. This dual emission involves variability of a relativistic jet arising from the spin-orbit precession ...

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

Observational Evidence for a Correlation between the Magnetic Field of Jets and Star Formation Rate in Host Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Accretion supermassive black holes in the center of active galaxies usually produce “jet”-collimated bipolar outflows of relativistic particles. Magnetic fields near the black hole event horizon may play a crucial role in the formation of jets/outflows ...

Toward Black Hole Stars: Supermassive Black Hole Growth in Nuclear Clusters via Stellar-object and Gas Accretion

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth plausibly occurs via runaway astrophysical black hole mergers in nuclear star clusters that form intermediate mass black hole seeds at high redshifts.
