Mechanism for the Suppression of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes

, 2010
A model for the formation of supermassive primordial black holes in galactic nuclei with the simultaneous suppression of the formation of intermediate-mass black holes is presented. A bimodal mass function for black holes formed through phase transitions

Is there life inside black holes?

, 2011
Bound inside rotating or charged black holes, there are stable periodic planetary orbits, which neither come out nor terminate at the central singularity. Stable periodic orbits inside black holes exist even for photons. These bound orbits may be defined

Black Hole Spin Properties of 130 AGN [PDF]

, 2013
Supermassive black holes may be described by their mass and spin. When supermassive black holes are active, the activity provides a probe of the state of the black hole system.

Non-linearly scalarized supermassive black holes

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In this study, we investigate a nonlinear mechanism driving the formation of scalarized rotating black holes within a scalar-Gauss–Bonnet gravity framework that includes an additional squared Gauss–Bonnet term.

A FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION FOR SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2011
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,

Updated Mass Scaling Relations for Nuclear Star Clusters and a Comparison to Supermassive Black Holes

, 2013
We investigate whether nuclear star clusters and supermassive black holes follow a common set of mass scaling relations with their host galaxy's properties, and hence can be considered to form a single class of central massive object.

Observational evidence for a connection between SMBHs and dark matter haloes [PDF]

, 2004
We investigate the relation between circular velocity vc and bulge velocity dispersion sigma in spiral galaxies, based on literature data and new spectroscopic observations. We find a strong, nearly linear vc-sigma correlation with a negligible intrinsic

The Cosmic History of Black Hole Growth from Deep Multiwavelength Surveys

Advances in Astronomy, 2012
Significant progress has been made in the last few years on understanding how supermassive black holes form and grow. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the spectral signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGN) ranging from radio to hard X-ray ...

Powerful jets from accreting black holes: evidence from the optical and infrared

, 2010
A common consequence of accretion onto black holes is the formation of powerful, relativistic jets that escape the system. In the case of supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies this has been known for decades, but for stellar-mass black ...
