Blindly Detecting Merging Supermassive Black Holes with Radio Surveys
Supermassive black holes presumably grow through numerous mergers throughout cosmic time. During each merger, supermassive black hole binaries are surrounded by a circumbinary accretion disk that imposes a significant (∼ 10G for a binary of 10M⊙) magnetic field. The motion of the binary through that field will convert the field energy to Poynting flux, with a luminosity ∼ 10 erg s (B/10G)(M/10M...
متن کاملDetecting Low-Mass Supermassive Black Holes
We demonstrate the feasibility of uncovering supermassive black holes in late-type, “quiescent” spiral galaxies by detecting signs of very low-level nuclear activity. We use a combination of x-ray selection and multi-wavelength follow-up. Here, we apply this technique to NGC 3184 and NGC 5457, both of type Scd, and show that strong arguments can be made that both host AGNs.
متن کاملJets in Supermassive and Stellar-mass Black Holes
Relativistic outflows are a common phenomenon in accreting black holes. Despite the enormous differences in scale, stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries and collapsars, and super-massive black holes at the dynamic centre of galaxies are sources of jets with analogous physical properties. Synergism between the research on microquasars, gamma-ray bursts, and Active Galactic Nuclei should hel...
متن کاملStudy of Outflows from Supermassive Black Holes
Our recent Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku observations of several high redshift quasars have revealed the presence of massive outflows of highly ionized, high-metallicity material driven from near the black hole (a few gravitational radii, rg) with velocities of up to 0.7c (see Figure 1; Chartas et al. 2002, ApJ, 579, 169; Chartas et al. 2003 ApJ, 595, 85; Chartas et al. 2007, AJ, 133, 1849; Sa...
متن کاملSupermassive black holes
1 OF ALL the legacies of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, none is more fascinating than black holes. While we now almost take their existence for granted, for much of the 20th century black holes were viewed as mathematical curiosities with no counterparts in nature. Einstein himself never believed in black holes and wrote two papers in which he argued against their existence. Einstein’...
