Evidence for supermassive black hole binaries

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia
Abstract We review the state of the evidence for the existence and observational appearance of supermassive black hole binaries. Such objects are expected from standard hierarchical galaxy evolution to form after two galaxies, each containing a supermassive black hole, have merged, in the centre of the merger remnant.

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE AT THE GALACTIC CENTER

New Results and Actual Problems in Particle & Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, 2014
We derive an analytical expression of a shadow size as a function of a charge in the Reissner - Nordstr?m (RN) metric. Using the derived expression we consider shadows for negative tidal charges and charges corresponding to naked singularities q=Q2/M2>1, where Q and M are black hole charge and mass, respectively.

Learning about gravity from imaging supermassive black holes [PDF]

I will discuss how the first images of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sgr A* were obtained by the EHT collaboration. In particular, I will describe the theoretical aspects that have allowed us to model the dynamics of the plasma accreting onto the

How a Klein–Nishina Modified Eddington-limited Accretion Explains Rapid Black Hole Growth in the Early Universe

The Astrophysical Journal
The discovery of quasars and their supermassive black holes (SMBHs) over 10 ^9 ${M}_{{\rm{\odot }}}$ merely hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang generates tension with the idea of Eddington-limited accretion and pressures the community into ...

Probing black holes in a dark matter spike of M87 using quasinormal modes

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
Dark matter density can be significantly enhanced by the supermassive black hole at the galactic center, leading to a structure called dark matter spike. Dark matter spike may change the spacetime properties of black holes that constitute deviations from

Dynamics around supermassive black holes [PDF]

, 2007
The dynamics of galactic nuclei reflects the presence of supermassive black holes (SBHs) in many ways. Single SBHs act as sinks, destroying a mass in stars equal to their own mass in roughly one relaxation time and forcing nuclei to expand.

Time delay of light in the gravitational lensing of supermassive black holes in dark matter halos

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The dark matter halo has non-negligible effects on the gravitational lensing of supermassive black hole in the galaxy center. Our work presents a study on the time-delay of light in gravitational lensing of black holes enclosed by dark matter halos.
