On the Formation and Interaction of Multiple Supermassive Stars in Cosmological Flows
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Supermassive primordial stars with masses exceeding ∼10 ^5 M _⊙ that form in atomically cooled halos are the leading candidates for the origin of high-redshift quasars at z > 6.

Supermassive black holes in BCGs [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractWe observed a sample of three Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), Abell 1836-BCG, Abell 2052-BCG, and Abell 3565-BCG, with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Space Telescope. For each target galaxy we obtained high-resolution spectroscopy of the Hα and [N II] λ6583 emission lines at three slit ...

Energy Flux and Particle Flux in Steady-state Solutions of Nuclear Star Clusters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We examine the effects of two-body interactions in a nuclear star cluster surrounding a supermassive black hole. We evaluate the energy flux, analogously to the particle flux calculation of Bahcall and Wolf.

The Case for the Fundamental MBH-σ Relation
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Strong scaling relations between host galaxy properties (such as stellar mass, bulge mass, luminosity, effective radius etc) and their nuclear supermassive black hole's mass point toward a close co-evolution.

A tool to understand emission mechanisms of blazars through their high‐energy gamma‐ray emission
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 6, August 2023., 2023 The blazar SED is characterized by two energy components. Evidence suggests that the low‐energy component is generated by the synchrotron mechanism, but for the high‐energy component, the mechanism is still uncertain. Two main models have been proposed to explain this emission. According to the leptonic model, a correlation between the emission of both

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

Unraveling the enigmatic soft x‐ray excess: Current understanding and future perspectives
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 6, August 2023., 2023 Abstract This article explores various theoretical models proposed to explain the soft x‐ray excess phenomenon, including warm Comptonization, ionized reflection models, and ionized outflowing disc winds. The soft x‐ray excess is better understood thanks to crucial observations made by ROSAT, XMM‐Newton, and eROSITA.

Tidal Disruption Events by Compact Supermassive Black Hole Binaries [PDF]
, 2022 Stars can be tidally destroyed or swallowed by supermassive black hole binaries. Using a large number of accurate few-body simulations, we investigate the enhancement and suppression of full and partial disruption and direct capture events by hard ...
