Supermassive black holes : the local supermassive black hole mass function
, 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.

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 71, Issue 8-9, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The momentum and Hamiltonian constraints of vacuum Einstein equations, within the Bowen‐York formalism, for two interacting black holes in close separation, with anti‐parallel spins and anti‐parallel linear momenta is studied. An analytical solution using perturbation theory is given.

A tool to understand emission mechanisms of blazars through their high‐energy gamma‐ray emission
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 6, August 2023., 2023 The blazar SED is characterized by two energy components. Evidence suggests that the low‐energy component is generated by the synchrotron mechanism, but for the high‐energy component, the mechanism is still uncertain. Two main models have been proposed to explain this emission. According to the leptonic model, a correlation between the emission of both

Unraveling the enigmatic soft x‐ray excess: Current understanding and future perspectives
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 6, August 2023., 2023 Abstract This article explores various theoretical models proposed to explain the soft x‐ray excess phenomenon, including warm Comptonization, ionized reflection models, and ionized outflowing disc winds. The soft x‐ray excess is better understood thanks to crucial observations made by ROSAT, XMM‐Newton, and eROSITA.

Multiwavelength astrophysics of the blazar OJ 287 and the project MOMO
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023 Abstract We are carrying out the densest and longest multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring project of OJ 287 ever done. The project MOMO (Multiwavelength Observations and Modeling of OJ 287) covers wavelengths from the radio to the high‐energy regime. A few selected observations are simultaneous with those of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

The Dynamics of White Dwarfs, Black Holes and Stellar Cusps [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis contains topics related mostly to the dynamics of white dwarfs (chapter 2), the dynamics of stars around binary super massive black holes (chapters 4, 5 and 6) and dynamics in the singular isothermal sphere (chapter 7).

A supermassive black hole awakes [PDF]
Science, 2017 Active Galaxies Every large galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole at its center, which grows by consuming passing gas or stars. Most are quiescent, but when the black hole is feeding, an accretion disk forms, causing the galaxy nucleus to shine brightly as a quasar. Gezari et al.
