Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]
, 2007 Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are nowadays believed to reside in most local galaxies, and the available data show an empirical correlation between bulge luminosity - or stellar velocity dispersion - and black hole mass, suggesting a single mechanism for assembling black holes and forming spheroids in galaxy halos. The evidence is therefore in favour

Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...

Quantum Aspects of Black Holes [PDF]
, 2006 In this thesis we study two quantum aspects of black holes, their entropy and the Hawking effect. First, we present a model for the statistical interpretation of black hole entropy and show that this entropy emerges as a result of missing information ...

Supermassive Black Hole Growth in Hierarchically Merging Nuclear Star Clusters
The Astrophysical JournalSupermassive black holes are prevalent at the centers of massive galaxies, and their masses scale with galaxy properties, increasing evidence suggesting that these trends continue to low stellar masses.

Hidden No More: Spotlight on Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered in previously quiescent galaxies. However, earlier studies have revealed a handful of TDEs occurring in pre‐existing active galactic nuclei (AGN). We discuss AT2019aalc, a promising TDE candidate in an AGN, and compare it to similar sources.

Geodesic Geometry of Black Holes [PDF]
, 2006 The study of geodesics is of intrinsic significance in the study of the geometry of space-time. In this thesis null, space-like and time-like geodesics are studied in the case of the space-times of Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrouml;m and Kerr black ...

Joint Formation of Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxies [PDF]
, 2018 The tight correlation between black hole mass and velocity dispersion of galactic bulges is strong evidence that the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes are closely linked. I review the modeling of the joint formation of galaxies and their

Gravitational Waves from Supermassive Black Holes [PDF]
, 2016 In this talk, I will present the first direct detections of gravitational waves from binary stellar-mass black hole mergers during the first observing run of the two detectors of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, which ...

Eötvös experiments with supermassive black holes [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 By examining the locations of central black holes in two elliptical galaxies, M\,32 and M\,87, we derive constraints on the violation of the strong equivalence principle for purely gravitational objects, i.e. black holes, of less than about two-thirds, $η_N<0.68$ from the gravitational interaction of M\,87 with its neighbours in the Virgo cluster ...
