Distant X-ray Galaxies: Insights from the Local Population

open access: yes, 2004
A full understanding of the origin of the hard X-ray background requires a complete and accurate census of the distant galaxies that produce it. Unfortunately, distant X-ray galaxies tend to be very faint at all wavelengths, which hinders efforts to ...

Bayesian Black Hole Photogrammetry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We propose an analytic dual-cone accretion model for horizon-scale images of the cores of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, including those observed by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

Life inside black holes

open access: yes, 2012
We consider test planet and photon orbits of the third kind inside a black hole, which are stable, periodic and neither come out of the black hole nor terminate at the singularity.

High-energy signatures of binary supermassive black holes

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Some active galactic nuclei are supposed to harbor binary systems of supermassive black holes. They are an attractive target for gravitational wave experiments.

Dynamics Around Supermassive Black Holes: Extreme-mass-ratio Inspirals as Gravitational-wave Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Supermassive black holes and their surrounding dense stellar environments nourish a variety of astrophysical phenomena. We focus on the distribution of stellar-mass black holes around the supermassive black hole and the consequent formation of extreme ...

Primordial black holes in cosmological simulations: growth prospects for supermassive black holes

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
It has long been suggested that a fraction of the dark matter in the Universe could exist in the form of primordial black holes (PBHs) that have existed since the radiation dominated era.

The Black Hole Particle Accelerator as a Machine to make Baby Universes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
General relativity predicts that the inner horizon of an astronomically realistic rotating black hole is subject to the mass inflation instability. The inflationary instability acts like a gravity-powered particle accelerator of extraordinary power ...
