Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. IX. 10 New Observations of Reverberation Mapping and Shortened Hβ Lags [PDF]
As one paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we present the results of 10 SEAMBHs monitored spectroscopically during 2015–2017 ...

A Candidate Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Identified by Shocks and Star Formation in its Wake
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.

Formation of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds [PDF]
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

Growth of Supermassive Black Holes, Galaxy Mergers and Supermassive Binary Black Holes [PDF]
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 ...

Shadow of rotating and twisting charged black holes with cloud of strings and quintessence
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 [PDF]
In the following black hole model, electrons and positrons form a neutral gas which is confined by gravitation. The smaller masses are supported against gravity by electron degeneracy pressure. Larger masses are supported by ideal gas and radiation pressure. In each case, the gas is a polytrope which satisfies the Lane-Emden equation.

A FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION FOR SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES [PDF]
We developed a theoretical model that is able to give a common origin to the correlations between the mass M• of supermassive black holes and the mass, velocity dispersion, kinetic energy and momentum parameter of the corresponding host galaxies. Our model is essentially based on the transformation of the angular momentum of the interstellar material,

Origin and growth of primordial black holes
Building on the insight that primordial black holes can arise from the formation and subsequent gravitational collapse of bound states of stable supermassive elementary particles during the early radiation era, we offer a comprehensive picture describing
