Key Science Goals for the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope
Galaxies, 2023 The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has led to the first images of a supermassive black hole, revealing the central compact objects in the elliptical galaxy M87 and the Milky Way.

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

The Black Hole Mass Function: From Stellar to Supermassive [PDF]
, 2023 The overall purpose of this thesis is to establish the black hole (BH) mass function, from stellar to supermassive. We divide this work into two: 1) the stellar black hole mass function covering the mass range $m_{\bullet} \sim 5 - 150 \ M_{\odot}$; 2 ...

Strong deflection lensing by a Lee–Wick black hole
Physics Letters B, 2017 We study strong deflection gravitational lensing by a Lee–Wick black hole, which is a non-singular black hole generated by a high derivative modification of Einstein–Hilbert action.

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.

Black Hole Images as Tests of General Relativity: Effects of Spacetime Geometry
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The images of supermassive black holes surrounded by optically thin, radiatively inefficient accretion flows, like those observed with the Event Horizon Telescope, are characterized by a bright ring of emission surrounding the black hole shadow.

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

Supermassive black holes in galactic bulges [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2008 Abstract Growing evidence indicate supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in a mass range of MBH∼ 106–1010 M⊙ lurking in central stellar bulges of galaxies. Extensive observations reveal fairly tight power laws of MBH versus the mean stellar velocity dispersion σ of the host stellar bulge.

Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2019 The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is aiming to image the event horizon of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Andrea Ghez has mapped out the orbits of stars around this supermassive black hole and deduced it has a mass of four million Suns. An even bigger supermassive black hole of six billion solar masses lies at the centre of the
