Phenomenological Analogies in Black Hole Systems of all Masses

open access: yes, 2004
I review the progress made on the physics of relativistic jets from black hole systems in the context of the analogy between AGN and microquasars that was proposed one decade ago.

Primordial black holes as supermassive black hole seeds

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
Abstract The presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs, M • ∼ 106-10 M ⊙) in the first cosmic Gyr (z ≳ 6) challenges current models of BH formation and evolution. We propose a novel mechanism for the formation of early SMBH seeds based on primordial black holes (PBHs).

Two Radio Cores in GPS J1543-0757: A New Dual Supermassive Black Hole System?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report on the discovery of a dual supermassive black hole system in the radio galaxy J1543−0757, with a projected separation between the two black holes of ∼46 mas. The result is based on recent multifrequency observations using the Very Long Baseline

Black Holes and Baryon Number Violation: Unveiling the Origins of Early Galaxies and the Low-Mass Gap

open access: yesGalaxies
We propose that modifications to the Higgs potential within a narrow atmospheric layer near the event horizon of an astrophysical black hole could significantly enhance the rate of sphaleron transitions, as well as transform the Chern–Simons number into ...

Formation of Merging Stellar-mass Black Hole Binaries by Gravitational-wave Emission in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Many stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) are expected to orbit supermassive black holes at galactic centers. For galaxies with active galactic nuclei, it is likely that the sBHs reside in a disk.

Inner region accretion flows onto black holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We examine here the inner region accretion flows onto black holes. A variety of models are presented. We also discuss viscosity mechanisms under a variety of circumstances, for standard accretion disks onto galactic black holes and supermassive black ...

Gravitational Wave Bursts from Collisions of Primordial Black Holes in Clusters

open access: yes, 2010
The rate of gravitational wave bursts from the mergers of massive primordial black holes in clusters is calculated. Such clusters of black holes can be formed through phase transitions in the early Universe.
