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

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 ...

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

The Role of Primordial Kicks on Black Hole Merger Rates [PDF]
, 2005 Primordial stars are likely to be very massive $\geq30\Msun$, form in isolation, and will likely leave black holes as remnants in the centers of their host dark matter halos in the mass range $10^{6}-10^{10}\Ms$. Such early black holes, at redshifts z$\

Titans of the early Universe: The Prato statement on the origin of the first supermassive black holes [PDF]
Publications Astronomical Society of Australia, 2018 In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at $z\sim7$ has provided a striking challenge to our understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. Mounting observational and theoretical evidence indicates the

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 ...

Orbital Migration of Interacting Stellar Mass Black Holes in Disks around Supermassive Black Holes. II. Spins and Incoming Objects [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The masses, rates, and spins of merging stellar mass binary black holes (BBHs) detected by aLIGO and Virgo provide challenges to traditional BBH formation and merger scenarios.

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.
