On black holes in string theory [PDF]
, 2011 PhDThis thesis investigates black holes in string theory through string amplitudes and through gauge-gravity duality. The research presented in this thesis supports the claim that string theory is capable of a consistent quantum-mechanical description

Universe, 2019 We propose the simple new method for extracting the value of the black hole spin from the direct high-resolution image of black hole by using a thin accretion disk model.

PAWS and POCO: NIR Astrophotonic Instruments for Astronomy
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract For near‐infrared ground and space‐based astronomy, compact photonic devices can replace the large bulk optical components in spectrographs, frequency combs, beam combiners, and sky subtraction filters, thus saving cost, reducing volume, weight, and power requirements.

Shadow of a rotating squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We study the shadow of a rotating squashed Kaluza-Klein (KK) black hole and the shadow is found to possess distinct properties from those of usual rotating black holes.

Shadow of rotating and twisting charged black holes with cloud of strings and quintessence
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 Testing gravity theories is an important and interesting issue in relativistic astrophysics using astrophysical observations. In recent years, Event horizon telescope collaboration provided valuable data from shadow of supermassive black holes located at

Characterization of a C‐RED One camera for astrophotonical applications
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract To better understand the impact of the avalanche gain applied in the detector technology and apply this technology in our in‐house astrophotonic projects, we have characterized a C‐RED One camera and produced a stable and reliable method for calculating the system gain at any desired avalanche gain setting.

Mass Functions of Supermassive Black Holes across Cosmic Time
Advances in Astronomy, 2012 The black hole mass function of supermassive black holes describes the evolution of the distribution of black hole mass. It is one of the primary empirical tools available for mapping the growth of supermassive black holes and for constraining ...

A Global Inventory of Feedback
Galaxies, 2023 Feedback from both supermassive black holes and massive stars plays a fundamental role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. In this paper, we use available data to estimate the total amount of kinetic energy and momentum created ...

Quantum Aspects of Black Holes [PDF]
, 2006 In this thesis we study two quantum aspects of black holes, their entropy and the Hawking effect. First, we present a model for the statistical interpretation of black hole entropy and show that this entropy emerges as a result of missing information ...
