Clustering of Primordial Black Holes from QCD Axion Bubbles

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Naoya Kitajima, Kai Murai, Shunsuke Neda | Summary: We study the clustering of primordial black holes (PBHs) and axion miniclusters produced in the model proposed to explain the LIGO/Virgo events or the seeds of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in arXiv:2006.13137. It is […]

Unveiling the small-scale jets in the rapidly growing supermassive black hole IZw1

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiaolong Yang, Su Yao, Luigi C. Gallo, Jun Yang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: Accretion of black holes at near-Eddington or super-Eddington rates is the most powerful episode that drives black hole growth, and it may work in several types of objects. However, the physics of accretion […]

A small and vigorous black hole in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Jan Scholtz, Joris Witstok, Stefano Carniani, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: Multiple theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the first billion years after Big […]

Constraints on the ultra-fast outflows in the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 1044 from high-resolution time- and flux-resolved spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Yerong Xu, Ciro Pinto, Daniele Rogantini, Stefano Bianchi, Matteo Guainazzi | Summary: Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) have been revealed in a large number of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and are regarded as promising candidates for AGN feedback on the host galaxy. The nature and launching mechanism of UFOs […]

The growth of the gargantuan black holes powering high-redshift quasars and their impact on the formation of early galaxies and protoclusters

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Jake S. Bennett, Debora Sijacki, Tiago Costa, Nicolas Laporte, Callum Witten | Summary: High-redshift quasars ($zgtrsim6$), powered by black holes (BHs) with large inferred masses, imply rapid BH growth in the early Universe. The most extreme examples have inferred masses of $sim ! 10^9,$M$_odot$ at $z = […]
