Origin and growth of primordial black holes

open access: yesPhysics 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

open access: yesUniverse, 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

open access: yesGalaxies, 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 (

Supermassive black holes and their environments [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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.

An Upper Limit on the Charge of the Black Hole Sgr A* from EHT Observations

open access: yesThe 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}_{-

Supermassive black holes in BCGs [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006
AbstractWe observed a sample of three Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), Abell 1836-BCG, Abell 2052-BCG, and Abell 3565-BCG, with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Space Telescope. For each target galaxy we obtained high-resolution spectroscopy of the Hα and [N II] λ6583 emission lines at three slit ...

Gravitational ringing and superradiant instabilities of the Kerr-like black holes in a dark matter halo

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Investigating strong gravitational lensing effects by supermassive black holes with Horndeski gravity

open access: yesEuropean 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.
