TL;DR: In this article, the Event Horizon Telescope was used to reconstruct event-horizon-scale images of the supermassive black hole candidate in the center of the giant elliptical galaxy M87.

Observational Evidence of Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the radiative or quasar mode of feedback can account for the observed proportionality between the central black hole and the host galaxy mass, which can lead to ejection or heating of the gas.

TL;DR: The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) as discussed by the authors is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit, which operates in the band from 3 to 79 keV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes
TL;DR: Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems as discussed by the authors, and they serve as an important tool for determining the near-equilibrium properties of strongly coupled quantum field theories, such as viscosity, conductivity and diffusion constants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hot Accretion Flows Around Black Holes
Feng Yuan,Ramesh Narayan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified the hot accretion flows into two broad classes: cold and hot, and showed that hot flows are associated with jets and strong winds, and that they are present in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei and in black hole X-ray binaries in the hard and quiescent states.

A powerful local shear instability in weakly magnetized disks. I - Linear analysis. II - Nonlinear evolution
Steven A. Balbus,John F. Hawley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a linear analysis is presented of the instability, which is local and extremely powerful; the maximum growth rate which is of the order of the angular rotation velocity, is independent of the strength of the magnetic field.

Accretion Discs in Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of redistributing angular momentum among the gas particles in order to let some of them fall into the potential well, then they are in a position to extract the potential energy so released.
