A Supermassive Black Hole in an Ultracompact Dwarf Galaxy
Nature, 2014 Ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are among the densest stellar systems in the universe. These systems have masses up to 200 million solar masses, but half light radii of just 3-50 parsecs.

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 Supermassive black holes from the center of galaxy may be immersed in a dark matter halo. This dark matter halo may form a “cusp” structure around the black hole and disappear at a certain distance from the black hole.

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

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.
