The supermassive black hole coincident with the luminous transient ASASSN-15lh∗
The progenitors of astronomical transients are linked to a specific stellar population and galactic environment, and observing their host galaxies hence constrains the physical nature of the transient itself. Here, we use imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope, and spatially resolved, medium-resolution spectroscopy from the Very Large Telescope obtained with X-Shooter and MUSE to study the hos...
متن کاملX-Rays from the Location of the Double-humped Transient ASASSN-15lh.
We present the detection of persistent soft X-ray radiation with Lx ~ 1041-1042 erg s-1 at the location of the extremely luminous, double-humped transient ASASSN-15lh as revealed by Chandra and Swift. We interpret this finding in the context of observations from our multiwavelength campaign, which revealed the presence of weak narrow nebular emission features from the host-galaxy nucleus and cl...

We present the detection of persistent soft X-ray radiation with Lx ∼ 1041 − 1042 ergs−1 at the location of the extremely luminous, double-humped transient ASASSN-15lh as revealed by Chandra and Swift. We interpret this finding in the context of observations from our multiwavelength campaign, which revealed the presence of weak narrow nebular emission features from the host-galaxy nucleus and c...
متن کاملThe Population of Viscosity– and Gravitational Wave–Driven Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Among Luminous AGN
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) in galactic nuclei are thought to be a common by–product of major galaxy mergers. We use simple disk models for the circumbinary gas and for the binary-disk interaction to follow the orbital decay of SMBHBs with a range of total masses (M) and mass ratios (q), through physically distinct regions of the disk, until gravitational waves (GWs) take over the...
متن کاملSupermassive Black Hole at the Galactic Center ∗
We derive an analytical expression of a shadow size as a function of a charge in the Reissner – Nordström (RN) metric. Using the derived expression we consider shadows for negative tidal charges and charges corresponding to naked singularities q = Q/M > 1, where Q and M are black hole charge and mass, respectively. An introduction of a negative tidal charge q can describes black hole solutions ...
