SWIFT COALESCENCE OF SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES IN COSMOLOGICAL MERGERS OF MASSIVE GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are ubiquitous in galaxies with a sizable mass. It is expected that a pair of SMBHs originally in the nuclei of two merging galaxies would form a binary and eventually coalesce via a burst of gravitational waves.

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.

Observational Constraints on the Self Interacting Dark Matter Scenario and the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes

open access: yes, 2001
We consider the consequences of SIDM for a velocity dependent cross section per unit mass. Accretion of SIDM onto seed black holes can produce supermassive black holes that are too large for certain combinations of parameters,which is used to obtain a ...

Supermassive black holes formed by direct collapse of inflationary perturbations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a mechanism of producing a new type of primordial perturbations that collapse to primordial black holes whose mass can be as large as necessary for them to grow to the supermassive black holes observed at high redshifts, without contradicting ...

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

Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxy Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

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 ...

Tidal disruption flares from stars on eccentric orbits

open access: yesEPJ 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.

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).

Why are AGN found in High Mass Galaxies?

open access: yes, 2008
We use semi-analytic models implemented in the Millennium Simulation to analyze the merging histories of dark matter haloes and of the galaxies that reside in them.
