A NEARLY NAKED SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 ABSTRACT During a systematic search for supermassive black holes (SMBHs) not in galactic nuclei, we identified the compact, symmetric radio source B3 1715+425 with an emission-line galaxy offset ≈ 8.5

Leptonic and Hadronic Radiative Processes in Supermassive-Black-Hole Jets
Galaxies, 2020 Supermassive black holes lying in the center of galaxies can launch relativistic jets of plasma along their polar axis. The physics of black-hole jets is a very active research topic in astrophysics, owing to the fact that many questions remain open on ...

Gravitational lensing by a Horndeski black hole
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017 In this article we study gravitational lensing by non-rotating and asymptotically flat black holes in Horndeski theory. By adopting the strong deflection limit, we calculate the deflection angle, from which we obtain the positions and the magnifications ...

Formation of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2016 AbstractThe detection of quasars at z > 6 unveils the presence of supermassive black holes of a few billion solar masses. The rapid formation process of these extreme objects remains a fascinating and open issue. Such discovery implies that seed black holes must have formed early on, and grown via either rapid accretion or BH/galaxy mergers. In this

Supermassive black holes in galactic bulges [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2008 Abstract Growing evidence indicate supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in a mass range of MBH∼ 106–1010 M⊙ lurking in central stellar bulges of galaxies. Extensive observations reveal fairly tight power laws of MBH versus the mean stellar velocity dispersion σ of the host stellar bulge.

Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2019 The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is aiming to image the event horizon of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Andrea Ghez has mapped out the orbits of stars around this supermassive black hole and deduced it has a mass of four million Suns. An even bigger supermassive black hole of six billion solar masses lies at the centre of the

THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN M84 REVISITED [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 The mass of the central black hole in the giant elliptical galaxy M84 has previously been measured by two groups using the same observations of emission-line gas with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope, giving strongly discrepant results: Bower et al. (1998) found M_BH = (1.5^{+1.1}_{-0.6}) x 10^9 M_sun, while

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The recent Chandra-JWST discovery of a quasar in the z ≈ 10.1 galaxy UHZ1 reveals that accreting supermassive black holes were already in place 470 million years after the Big Bang. The Chandra X-ray source detected in UHZ1 is a Compton-thick quasar with

Primordial black holes as dark matter candidates
SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2022 We review the formation and evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) and their possible contribution to dark matter. Various constraints suggest they could only provide most of it in the mass windows $10^{17}$ - $10^{23}\,$g or $10$ - $10^{2}\,M_ ...
