THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN M84 REVISITED [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 The mass of the central black hole in the giant elliptical galaxy M84 has previously been measured by two groups using the same observations of emission-line gas with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope, giving strongly discrepant results: Bower et al. (1998) found M_BH = (1.5^{+1.1}_{-0.6}) x 10^9 M_sun, while

The Astrophysical JournalMany 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.

To test dual supermassive black hole model for broad line AGN with double-peaked narrow [OIII] lines [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In this manuscript, we proposed an interesting method to test the dual supermassive black hole model for AGN with double-peaked narrow \oiii lines (double-peaked narrow emitters), through their broad optical Balmer line properties. Under the dual supermassive black hole model for double-peaked narrow emitters, we could expect statistically smaller ...

Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxy Formation [PDF]
, 2002 Abstract Predicted by the theory of general relativity, black holes are among the strangest objects known to exist. A point in space usually has a past and a future. An explosion is an example of a point in space–time. The explosion is both at a specific point in space and at a specific time.

Bayesian Black Hole Photogrammetry
The Astrophysical JournalWe 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).

GalaxiesWe 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 ...

Tidal disruption flares from stars on eccentric orbits
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We study tidal disruption and subsequent mass fallback for stars approaching supermassive black holes on bound orbits, by performing three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations with a pseudo-Newtonian potential.

Low-Mass AGN and Their Relation to the Fundamental Plane of Black Hole Accretion [PDF]
, 2014 We put active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with low-mass black holes on the fundamental plane of black hole accretion---the plane that relates X-ray emission, radio emission, and mass of an accreting black hole---to test whether or not the relation is universal for both stellar-mass and supermassive black holes.

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

Measuring spin of a supermassive black hole at the Galactic centre -- Implications for a unique spin [PDF]
, 2009 We determine the spin of a supermassive black hole in the context of discseismology by comparing newly detected quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of radio emission in the Galactic centre, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), as well as infrared and X-ray emissions with those of the Galactic black holes.
