Mass Functions of Supermassive Black Holes across Cosmic Time [PDF]

Advances in Astronomy, 2012
The black hole mass function of supermassive black holes describes the evolution of the distribution of black hole mass. It is one of the primary empirical tools available for mapping the growth of supermassive black holes and for constraining ...

Formation of Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2010
Evidence shows that massive black holes reside in most local galaxies. Studies have also established a number of relations between the MBH mass and properties of the host galaxy such as bulge mass and velocity dispersion.

Close supermassive binary black holes [PDF]

Nature, 2009
It has been proposed that when the peaks of the broad emission lines in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are significantly blueshifted or redshifted from the systemic velocity of the host galaxy, this could be a consequence of orbital motion of a ...

SuperMassive Black Holes in Bulges [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2000
We present spatially extended gas kinematics at parsec-scale resolution for the nuclear regions of four nearby disk galaxies, and model them as rotation of a gas disk in the joint potential of the stellar bulge and a putative central black hole.

Evolution of supermassive black holes [PDF]

, 2006
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are nowadays believed to reside in most local galaxies, and the available data show an empirical correlation between bulge luminosity - or stellar velocity dispersion - and black hole mass, suggesting a single mechanism ...

Searching for ultra-light bosons and constraining black hole spin distributions with stellar tidal disruption events [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
Stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when stars pass close enough to supermassive black holes. Here, the authors show that future searches TDEs have potential to uncover the existence of ultralight bosons.

Dynamics around supermassive black holes [PDF]

, 2007
The dynamics of galactic nuclei reflects the presence of supermassive black holes (SBHs) in many ways. Single SBHs act as sinks, destroying a mass in stars equal to their own mass in roughly one relaxation time and forcing nuclei to expand.

Origin and growth of primordial black holes

Physics Letters B, 2021
Building on the insight that primordial black holes can arise from the formation and subsequent gravitational collapse of bound states of stable supermassive elementary particles during the early radiation era, we offer a comprehensive picture describing

The Role of AGN in Luminous Infrared Galaxies from the Multiwavelength Perspective

Universe, 2022
Galaxy mergers provide a mechanism for galaxies to effectively funnel gas and materials toward their nuclei and fuel the central starbursts and accretion of supermassive black holes.
