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 ...

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.

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.

The ngEHT’s Role in Measuring Supermassive Black Hole Spins
Galaxies, 2022 While supermassive black-hole masses have been cataloged across cosmic time, only a few dozen of them have robust spin measurements. By extending and improving the existing Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) array, the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope (

An Upper Limit on the Charge of the Black Hole Sgr A* from EHT Observations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) recently released an image of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* showing an angular shadow diameter d _sh = 48.7 ± 7 μ as and Schwarzschild shadow deviation $\delta =-{0.08}_{-0.09}^{+0.09}\,(\mathrm{VLTI})$ , $-{0.04}_{-

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.

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 ...

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022 We study gravitational lensing in strong-field limit by a static spherically symmetric black hole in quartic scalar field Horndeski gravity having additional hair parameter q, evading the no-hair theorem.

Epicyclic Oscillations around Simpson–Visser Regular Black Holes and Wormholes
Universe, 2021 We study epicyclic oscillatory motion along circular geodesics of the Simpson–Visser meta-geometry describing in a unique way regular black-bounce black holes and reflection-symmetric wormholes by using a length parameter l.
