Supermassive black hole binary mergers
Massive merging black holes will be the primary sources of powerful gravitational waves at low frequency, and will permit to test General Relativity if we identify candidate galaxies that are close to a binary black hole merger. In this paper we show that for a typical range of mass ratios of the two black holes the final stage of the merger is preceded by a rapid precession and a subsequent sp...
متن کاملRegularities in the Long Term Optical Light Curve of the Black Hole Candidate Binary A0620-00 (V616 Mon)
We have monitored the R and I magnitude of the black hole candidate system A062000 (V616 Mon) in the years 1991-1995 at the Wise Observatory. Combining our data with some additional measurements, we analyze a sparsely covered 7 year light curve of the star. We find that the average R-band magnitude is varying on a time scale of a few hundreds days, with a peak to peak amplitude of 0.3 mag. The ...
متن کاملSupermassive binary black hole mergers
When galaxies collide, dynamical friction drives their central supermassive black holes close enought to each other such that gravitational radiation becomes the leading dissipative effect. Gravitational radiation takes away energy, momentum and angular momentum from the compact binary, such that the black holes finally merge. In the process, the spin of the dominant black hole is reoriented. O...

عصر روشنگری زمان شکل گیری ایده های مدرن تربیتی- آموزشی بود اما تاکید بیش از اندازه ی دوشاخه مهم فلسفی زمان یعنی عقل گرایی و حس گرایی بر دقت و وضوح، انسان عصر روشنگری را نسبت به دیگر تواناییهایش نابینا کرده و موجب به وجود آمدن افرادی تک بعدی شد که افتخارعقلانیتشان، تاکید شان بر تجربه فردی، به مبارزه طلبیدن منطق نیاکانشان وافسون زدایی شان از دنیا وتمام آنچه با حواس پنجگانه قابل درک نبوده و یا در ...
The Binary Nucleus in Vcc 128: a Candidate Supermassive Black Hole in a Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) images of the Virgo Cluster dwarf elliptical galaxy VCC 128 reveal an apparently double nucleus. The two components, which are separated by ∼ 32 pc in projection, have the same magnitude and color. We present a spectrum of this double nucleus and show that it is inconsistent with one or both components being emission-line backgr...
