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.

Tidal disruption flares from stars on eccentric orbits
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We study tidal disruption and subsequent mass fallback for stars approaching supermassive black holes on bound orbits, by performing three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations with a pseudo-Newtonian potential.

Modeling Polarized Emission from Black Hole Jets: Application to M87 Core Jet
Galaxies, 2017 We combine three-dimensional general-relativistic numerical models of hot, magnetized Advection Dominated Accretion Flows around a supermassive black hole and the corresponding outflows from them with a general relativistic polarized radiative transfer ...

On the High-Energy Neutrino Emission from Active Galactic Nuclei
Universe, 2018 We review observational aspects of the active galactic nuclei and their jets in connection with the detection of high-energy neutrinos by the Antarctic IceCube Neutrino Observatory.

Supermassive black holes and their environments [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008 We make use of the first high--resolution hydrodynamic simulations of structure formation which self-consistently follows the build up of supermassive black holes introduced in Di Matteo et al. (2007) to investigate the relation between black holes (BH), host halo and large--scale environment.

Formation of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2016 AbstractThe detection of quasars at z > 6 unveils the presence of supermassive black holes of a few billion solar masses. The rapid formation process of these extreme objects remains a fascinating and open issue. Such discovery implies that seed black holes must have formed early on, and grown via either rapid accretion or BH/galaxy mergers. In this

A NEARLY NAKED SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 ABSTRACT During a systematic search for supermassive black holes (SMBHs) not in galactic nuclei, we identified the compact, symmetric radio source B3 1715+425 with an emission-line galaxy offset ≈ 8.5

Deep Space Network Radio Science and Ground‐Based Planetary Radar in the Next Decade
Radio Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract The Deep Space Network (DSN) has been a core operational element of NASA's crewed and robotic exploration of the Solar System since the early 1960s. The primary role of the DSN has been to acquire telemetry and navigation data, but over the years, its radiometric and radar capabilities have expanded to form a system for obtaining unique ...
