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.

Episodic ejection from super-massive black holes [PDF]
, 2006 Episodic activity in super-massive black holes is shown by radio galaxies exhibiting ‘double-double’ radio morphologies (Subrahmanyan et al. 1996, Schoenmakers et al. 2000). Spectacular examples showing a renewal of beam activity in the form of new beams

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Numerous observations have shown that almost all galaxies in our Universe host supermassive black holes (SMBHs), but there is still much debate about their formation and evolutionary processes. Recently, gravitational waves (GWs) have been expected to be

DO CIRCUMNUCLEAR DENSE GAS DISKS DRIVE MASS ACCRETION ONTO SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES [PDF]
, 2016 We present a positive correlation between the mass of dense molecular gas (Mdense) of ~ 100 pc scale circumnuclear disks (CNDs) and the black hole mass accretion rate (M_ BH) in total 10 Seyfert galaxies, based on data compiled from the literature and an

Global Understanding of Accretion and Ejection around Black Holes
Galaxies, 2022 Accretion and ejection around compact objects, mainly around black holes, both in low mass, and supermassive, is rich and has been studied exhaustively [...]

No Supermassive Black Hole in M33?
Science, 2001 We observed the nucleus of M33, the third-brightest galaxy in the Local Group, with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph at a resolution at least a factor of 10 higher than previously obtained. Rather than the steep rise expected within the radius of gravitational influence of a supermassive black hole, the random stellar velocities showed a ...

A Candidate Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Identified by Shocks and Star Formation in its Wake
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The interaction of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) can lead to the formation of a wake of shocked gas and young stars behind it.
