Shadow of rotating and twisting charged black holes with cloud of strings and quintessence
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 Testing gravity theories is an important and interesting issue in relativistic astrophysics using astrophysical observations. In recent years, Event horizon telescope collaboration provided valuable data from shadow of supermassive black holes located at

Supermassive black holes in BCGs [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractWe observed a sample of three Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), Abell 1836-BCG, Abell 2052-BCG, and Abell 3565-BCG, with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Space Telescope. For each target galaxy we obtained high-resolution spectroscopy of the Hα and [N II] λ6583 emission lines at three slit ...

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

Gravitational Larmor precession
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 Inspired by the reported existence of substantive magnetic fields in the vicinity of the central supermassive black holes in Sagittarius A* and Messier 87*, we consider test particle motion in the spacetime close to a generic spherical black hole in 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 ...

Supermassive black hole demographics: evading M − σ [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 We consider black hole - galaxy coevolution using simple analytic arguments. We focus on the fact that several supermassive black holes are known with masses significantly larger than suggested by the $M - $ relation, sometimes also with rather small stellar masses.

DYNAMICAL FRICTION AROUND SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 The density of stars in galactic bulges is often observed to be flat or slowly rising inside the influence radius of the supermassive black hole (SMBH). Attributing the dynamical friction force to stars moving more slowly than the test body, as is commonly done, is likely to be a poor approximation in such a core since there are no stars moving more ...

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 [...]

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.

Hierarchical build-up of galactic bulges and the merging rate of supermassive binary black holes
, 2003 The hierarchical build-up of galactic bulges should lead to the build-up of present-day supermassive black holes by a mixture of gas accretion and merging of supermassive black holes.
