Tidal disruption Eddington envelopes around massive black holes
Optically-thick envelopes may form following the tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole. Such envelopes would reprocess hard radiation from accretion close to the black hole into the UV and optical bands producing AGN-luminosity flares with duration ∼ 1 year. We show that due to relativistic effects, the envelopes are convective. If convection is efficient, then the structure of the...
متن کاملTidal disruption of small satellites orbiting black holes
Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) with either a black hole or a neutron star show power spectra characterised by Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs). Twin peak high frequency QPOs are characterised by frequencies that are typical for matter orbiting within 10 rg from the compact object. We consider clumps of material orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole, that are deformed by tidal interaction. We p...
متن کاملWeighing black holes with warm absorbers
We present a new technique for determining an upper limit for the mass of the black hole in active galactic nuclei showing warm absorption features. The method relies on the balance of radiative and gravitational forces acting on outflowing warm absorber clouds. It has been applied to 6 objects: five Seyfert 1 galaxies: IC 4329a, MCG−6-3015, NGC 3516, NGC 4051 and NGC 5548; and one radio-quiet ...
متن کاملWeighing black holes in radio-loud AGNs
Because of the contamination of jets, using the size – continuum luminosity relation can overestimate the broad line region (BLR) size and black hole mass for radio-loud AGNs. We propose a new relation between the BLR size and Hβ emission line luminosity and present evidences for using it to get more accurate black hole masses of radio-loud AGNs. For extreme radio-loud AGNs such as blazars with...
متن کاملStellar Tidal Processes Near Massive Black Holes
Close tidal interactions of stars with a central massive black hole (MBH) or with other stars in the high density cusp around it can affect a significant fraction of the stellar population within the MBH radius of influence. We consider three strong processes that have the potential of modifying stellar structure and evolution there. (1) Tidal spin-up by hyperbolic star-star encounters. (2) Tid...
