Journal ArticleDOI
Massive black hole binaries in active galactic nuclei
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the possibility that some active galactic nuclei may contain two massive black holes in orbit about each other, which suggests a new interpretation for the observed bending and apparent precession of radio jets emerging from these objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal disruption of stars by black holes of 10 6 –10 8 solar masses in nearby galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that stars in galactic nuclei can be captured or tidally disrupted by a central black hole, and the remainder would be swallowed by the hole, causing a bright flare lasting at most a few years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fuelling of active galactic nuclei
TL;DR: In this article, the role of non-axisymmetric perturbations of the gravitational potential on galactic scales and their triggers are galaxy interactions and internal self-gravitational instabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamical simulations to determine the feeding rate of black holes by the tidal disruption of stars: the importance of the impact parameter and stellar structure
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the most-centrally concentrated stars have the quickest-peaking flares, and the trend between the time of peak and the impact parameter for deeply penetrating encounters reverses beyond the critical distance at which the star is completely destroyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore a model for these sources and suggest that in some tens of per cent of globular clusters a very massive black hole, M≳50 m⊙, is formed.
