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 ...

A supermassive black hole awakes [PDF]
Science, 2017 Active Galaxies Every large galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole at its center, which grows by consuming passing gas or stars. Most are quiescent, but when the black hole is feeding, an accretion disk forms, causing the galaxy nucleus to shine brightly as a quasar. Gezari et al.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Pulsar timing array collaborations, such as the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav), are seeking to detect nanohertz gravitational waves emitted by supermassive black hole binaries formed in the aftermath of galaxy ...

The Dynamics of White Dwarfs, Black Holes and Stellar Cusps [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis contains topics related mostly to the dynamics of white dwarfs (chapter 2), the dynamics of stars around binary super massive black holes (chapters 4, 5 and 6) and dynamics in the singular isothermal sphere (chapter 7).

Gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 We investigate the weak and strong deflection gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole and find their observables. These lensing observables are evaluated and the detectability of the quantum deformation is assessed, after ...

No Supermassive Black Hole in M33?
Science, 2001 We observed the nucleus of M33, the third-brightest galaxy in the Local Group, with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph at a resolution at least a factor of 10 higher than previously obtained. Rather than the steep rise expected within the radius of gravitational influence of a supermassive black hole, the random stellar velocities showed a ...

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 Supermassive black holes from the center of galaxy may be immersed in a dark matter halo. This dark matter halo may form a “cusp” structure around the black hole and disappear at a certain distance from the black hole.
