Supermassive black holes and spectral emission lines
It is widely accepted that active galactic nuclei (AGN) are hosting a supermassive black hole in their center. The supermassive black hole is actively fueled by surrounding gas through an accretion disk, which produces a broad band continuum (from X-ray to radio emission). The hard photons from the accretion disk create the photoionized plasma around the central black hole, which emits a number...
متن کاملFinding Faint Intermediate-mass Black Holes in the Radio Band
We discuss the prospects for detecting faint intermediate-mass black holes, such as those predicted to exist in the cores of globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We briefly summarize the difficulties of stellar dynamical searches, then show that recently discovered relations between black hole mass, X-ray luminosity and radio luminosity imply that in most cases, these black holes sh...
متن کاملHelium shells and faint emission lines from slitless flash spectra
At the time of the two last solar total eclipses of August 1st, 2008 in Siberia and July 11th, 2010 in French Polynesia, high frame rate CCD flash spectra were obtained. These eclipses occurred in quiet Sun period and after. The slitless flash spectra show two helium shells, in the weak Paschen α 4686 Å line of the ionized helium HeII and in the neutral helium HeI line at 4713 Å. The extensions...
متن کاملRole of emission angular directionality in spin determination of accreting black holes with broad iron line
Aims. Spin of an accreting black hole can be determined by spectroscopy of the emission and absorption features produced in the inner regions of an accretion disc. In this work we discuss the method employing the relativistic line profiles of iron in the X-ray domain, where the emergent spectrum is blurred by general relativistic effects. Methods. Precision of spectra fitting procedure could be...
متن کاملBlack hole mass and accretion rate of active galactic nuclei with double-peaked broad emission lines
Using an empirical relation between the broad line region size and optical continuum luminosity, we estimated the black hole mass and accretion rate for 135 AGNs with double-peaked broad emission lines in two samples, one from the SDSS and the other from a survey of radio-loud broad emission line AGNs. With black hole masses in a range from 3×10M⊙ to 5×10 M⊙, these AGNs have the dimensionless a...
