Ram-pressure feeding of supermassive black holes [PDF]

Nature, 2017
When a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy accretes matter, it gives rise to a highly energetic phenomenon: an active galactic nucleus. Numerous physical processes have been proposed to account for the funnelling of gas towards the galactic

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

Observing supermassive black holes in virtual reality [PDF]

Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology, 2018
We present a 360∘ (i.e., 4π steradian) general-relativistic ray-tracing and radiative transfer calculations of accreting supermassive black holes. We perform state-of-the-art three-dimensional general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations using ...

Asymptotically‐Flat Black Hole Solutions in Symmergent Gravity

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Symmergent gravity is an emergent gravity model with an R+R2$R+R^2$ curvature sector and an extended particle sector having new particles beyond the known ones. With constant scalar curvature, asymptotically flat black hole solutions are known to have no sensitivity to the quadratic curvature term (coefficient of R2$R^2$). With variable scalar

Gravitational lensing by deformed Horava-Lifshitz black hole in rainbow gravity

Physics Letters B
In this study, we investigate the gravitational lensing effects of deformed Horava-Lifshitz black holes, considering both strong and weak-field limit approximations and incorporating the impact of rainbow functions.

Gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
We investigate the weak and strong deflection gravitational lensing by a quantum deformed Schwarzschild black hole and find their observables. These lensing observables are evaluated and the detectability of the quantum deformation is assessed, after ...

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

Differential rotation in compact objects with hyperons and delta isobars

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 2-3, February-March 2024.
Abstract Neutron stars may experience differential rotation on short, dynamical timescales following extreme astrophysical events like binary neutron star mergers. In this work, the masses and radii of differentially rotating neutron star models are computed.
