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.

Partial Stellar Disruption by a Supermassive Black Hole: Is the Light Curve Really Proportional to t−9/4? [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole, and the subsequent accretion of the disrupted debris by that black hole, offers a direct means to study the inner regions of otherwise-quiescent galaxies.

High-energy signatures of binary systems of supermassive black holes [PDF]
, 2016 Context. Binary systems of supermassive black holes are expected to be strong sources of long gravitational waves prior to merging. These systems are good candidates to be observed with forthcoming space-borne detectors.

Detecting Supermassive Black Hole–induced Binary Eccentricity Oscillations with LISA [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Stellar-mass black hole binaries (BHBs) near supermassive black holes (SMBH) in galactic nuclei undergo eccentricity oscillations due to gravitational perturbations from the SMBH.

Black Hole Spin Properties of 130 AGN [PDF]
, 2013 Supermassive black holes may be described by their mass and spin. When supermassive black holes are active, the activity provides a probe of the state of the black hole system.

Impact of supermassive black hole growth on star formation [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2017 Supermassive black holes are found at the centres of massive galaxies. During the growth of these black holes they light up to become visible as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and release extraordinary amounts of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Precessing jet nozzle connecting to a spinning black hole in M87 [PDF]
Nature, 2023 This study analyses radio observations of the jet in galaxy M87, from which the existence of a spinning black hole that induces Lense–Thirring precession of a misaligned accretion disk is inferred.

Extreme Mass Ratio Binary: Radiation reaction and gravitational waveform [PDF]
, 2005 For a successful detection of gravitational waves by LISA, it is essential to construct theoretical waveforms in a reliable manner. We discuss gravitational waves from an extreme mass ratio binary system which is expected to be a promising target of the ...
