Mass Functions of Supermassive Black Holes across Cosmic Time [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2012 The black hole mass function of supermassive black holes describes the evolution of the distribution of black hole mass. It is one of the primary empirical tools available for mapping the growth of supermassive black holes and for constraining ...

Supermassive black holes : the local supermassive black hole mass function [PDF]
, 2012 Over recent years there has been an increase of the number of secure supermassive black hole (SMBH) detections. These SMBH measurements have lead astronomers to establish well defined empirical relationships between the SMBH mass and some of the properties of the host galaxy.

A Global Inventory of Feedback
Galaxies, 2023 Feedback from both supermassive black holes and massive stars plays a fundamental role in the evolution of galaxies and the inter-galactic medium. In this paper, we use available data to estimate the total amount of kinetic energy and momentum created ...

Epicyclic Oscillations around Simpson–Visser Regular Black Holes and Wormholes
Universe, 2021 We study epicyclic oscillatory motion along circular geodesics of the Simpson–Visser meta-geometry describing in a unique way regular black-bounce black holes and reflection-symmetric wormholes by using a length parameter l.

Decomposition of the central structure of NGC 2273 in the NIR: A case study
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 10, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 is a prime target to explore how active nuclei can be fed. It has a star‐forming innermost nuclear ring with a radius of 0.33kpc from where material may be funneled to the supermassive black hole in its center. In this article, we discuss high‐resolution adaptive optics aided JHKs images of NGC 2273 taken with the

Growth of Supermassive Black Holes, Galaxy Mergers and Supermassive Binary Black Holes [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015 AbstractThe study of galaxy mergers and supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) is central to our understanding of the galaxy and black hole assembly and (co-)evolution at the epoch of structure formation and throughout cosmic history. Galaxy mergers are the sites of major accretion episodes, they power quasars, grow supermassive black holes (SMBHs ...

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 The Potsdam Arrayed Waveguide Spectrograph (PAWS) is based on an integrated photonic spectrograph designed and developed by innoFSPEC to work in the astronomical H‐band. PAWS demonstrates how a traditional bulk optics spectrograph can be miniaturized and additionally serves as a tool for testing in‐house developed astrophotonical devices.

PAWS and POCO: NIR Astrophotonic Instruments for Astronomy
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract For near‐infrared ground and space‐based astronomy, compact photonic devices can replace the large bulk optical components in spectrographs, frequency combs, beam combiners, and sky subtraction filters, thus saving cost, reducing volume, weight, and power requirements.

Modeling the Central Supermassive Black Hole Mass of Quasars via the LSTM Approach
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 One of the fundamental questions about quasars is related to their central supermassive black holes. The reason for the existence of these black holes with such a huge mass is still unclear, and various models have been proposed to explain them. However,
