Book Synopsis Black Hole Formation and Growth by : Tiziana Di Matteo
Download or read book Black Hole Formation and Growth written by Tiziana Di Matteo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate proofs that black holes exist have been obtained very recently thanks to the detection of gravitational waves from their coalescence and due to material orbiting at a distance of some gravitational radii imaged by optical interferometry or X-ray reverberation mapping. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews covering the gravitational wave breakthrough, our understanding of accretion and feedback in supermassive black holes and the relevance of black holes for the Universe since the Big Bang. Neil J. Cornish presents gravitational wave emission from black hole mergers and the physics of detection. Andrew King reviews the physics of accretion on to supermassive black holes and their feedback on host galaxies. Tiziana Di Matteo addresses our understanding of black hole formation at cosmic dawn, the emergence of the first quasars, black hole merging and structure formation. The topics covered by the 48th Saas-Fee Course provide a broad overview of the importance of black holes in modern astrophysics.

Book Synopsis Formation and Evolution of Black Holes in the Galaxy by : Gerald Edward Brown
Download or read book Formation and Evolution of Black Holes in the Galaxy written by Gerald Edward Brown and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In published papers H A Bethe and G E Brown worked out the collapse of large stars and supernova explosions. They went on to evolve binaries of compact stars, finding that in the standard scenario the first formed neutron star always went into a black hole in common envelope evolution. C-H Lee joined them in the study of black hole binaries and gamma ray bursts. They found the black holes to be the fossils of the gamma ray bursts. From their properties they could reconstruct features of the burst and of the accompanying hypernova explosions. This invaluable book contains 23 papers on astrophysics, chiefly on compact objects, written over 23 years. The papers are accompanied by illuminating commentary. In addition there is an appendix on kaon condensation which the editors believe to be relevant to the equation of state in neutron stars, and to explain why black holes are formed at relatively low masses.

Book Synopsis What Does a Black Hole Look Like? by : Charles D. Bailyn
Download or read book What Does a Black Hole Look Like? written by Charles D. Bailyn and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sophisticated introduction to how astronomers identify, observe, and understand black holes Emitting no radiation or any other kind of information, black holes mark the edge of the universe—both physically and in our scientific understanding. Yet astronomers have found clear evidence for the existence of black holes, employing the same tools and techniques used to explore other celestial objects. In this sophisticated introduction, leading astronomer Charles Bailyn goes behind the theory and physics of black holes to describe how astronomers are observing these enigmatic objects and developing a remarkably detailed picture of what they look like and how they interact with their surroundings. Accessible to undergraduates and others with some knowledge of introductory college-level physics, this book presents the techniques used to identify and measure the mass and spin of celestial black holes. These key measurements demonstrate the existence of two kinds of black holes, those with masses a few times that of a typical star, and those with masses comparable to whole galaxies—supermassive black holes. The book provides a detailed account of the nature, formation, and growth of both kinds of black holes. The book also describes the possibility of observing theoretically predicted phenomena such as gravitational waves, wormholes, and Hawking radiation. A cutting-edge introduction to a subject that was once on the border between physics and science fiction, this book shows how black holes are becoming routine objects of empirical scientific study.
Book Synopsis Mapping the Heavens by : Priyamvada Natarajan
Download or read book Mapping the Heavens written by Priyamvada Natarajan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical astrophysicist explores the ideas that transformed our knowledge of the universe over the past century. The cosmos, once understood as a stagnant place, filled with the ordinary, is now a universe that is expanding at an accelerating pace, propelled by dark energy and structured by dark matter. Priyamvada Natarajan, our guide to these ideas, is someone at the forefront of the research—an astrophysicist who literally creates maps of invisible matter in the universe. She not only explains for a wide audience the science behind these essential ideas but also provides an understanding of how radical scientific theories gain acceptance. The formation and growth of black holes, dark matter halos, the accelerating expansion of the universe, the echo of the big bang, the discovery of exoplanets, and the possibility of other universes—these are some of the puzzling cosmological topics of the early twenty-first century. Natarajan discusses why the acceptance of new ideas about the universe and our place in it has never been linear and always contested even within the scientific community. And she affirms that, shifting and incomplete as science always must be, it offers the best path we have toward making sense of our wondrous, mysterious universe. “Part history, part science, all illuminating. If you want to understand the greatest ideas that shaped our current cosmic cartography, read this book.”—Adam G. Riess, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 2011 “A highly readable, insider’s view of recent discoveries in astronomy with unusual attention to the instruments used and the human drama of the scientists.”—Alan Lightman, author of The Accidental Universe and Einstein's Dream

Book Synopsis Three Lectures on Complexity and Black Holes by : Leonard Susskind
Download or read book Three Lectures on Complexity and Black Holes written by Leonard Susskind and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three lectures cover a certain aspect of complexity and black holes, namely the relation to the second law of thermodynamics. The first lecture describes the meaning of quantum complexity, the analogy between entropy and complexity, and the second law of complexity. Lecture two reviews the connection between the second law of complexity and the interior of black holes. Prof. L. Susskind discusses how firewalls are related to periods of non-increasing complexity which typically only occur after an exponentially long time. The final lecture is about the thermodynamics of complexity, and “uncomplexity” as a resource for doing computational work. The author explains the remarkable power of “one clean qubit,” in both computational terms and in space-time terms. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers who want to take the first steps towards the mysteries of black holes and their complexity.
Book Synopsis Formation and Growth of the First Supermassive Black Holes by : Tilman Hartwig
Download or read book Formation and Growth of the First Supermassive Black Holes written by Tilman Hartwig and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supermassive black holes reside in the centres of most massive galaxies and we observe correlations between their mass and properties of the host galaxies. Besides this correlation between a galaxy and its central black hole (BH), we see BHs more massive than one billion solar masses already a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. These supermassive BHs at high redshift are just the tip of the iceberg of the entire BH population, but they challenge our understanding of the formation and growth of the first BHs. Our improved method to calculate H2 self-shielding yields probabilities to form massive seed BHs that are more than one order of magnitude higher, than previously expected. We find that CR7 might be the first candidate to host such a direct collapse BH and we disprove the initially claimed existence of a massive metal-free stellar population in CR7. We calculate the merger rate density of binary BHs from the first stars and their detection rates with aLIGO. Our model demonstrates that upcoming detections of gravitational waves in the next decades will allow to put tighter constraints on the properties of the first stars and therefore on formation scenarios of the first BHs. We develop a 2D analytical model of active galactic nuclei-driven outflows to demonstrate that a more realistic disc profile reduces the amount of gas that is ejected out of the halo, compared to existing 1D models. The outflow prevents gas accretion on to the central BH for only about ∼1Myr, which permits almost continuous gas inflow in the disc plane. With this thesis, I contribute to a better understanding of the formation and growth of the first supermassive BHs.
Book Synopsis Coevolution of Black Holes and Galaxies: Volume 1, Carnegie Observatories Astrophysics Series by : Luis C. Ho
Download or read book Coevolution of Black Holes and Galaxies: Volume 1, Carnegie Observatories Astrophysics Series written by Luis C. Ho and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-09 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally published in 2004. Black holes are among the most mysterious objects in the Universe. Weighing up to several billion Suns, massive black holes have long been suspected to be the central powerhouses of energetic phenomena such as quasars. Advances in astronomy have not only provided spectacular proof of this long-standing paradigm, but have revealed the unexpected result that far from being rare, exotic beasts, they inhabit the center of virtually all large galaxies. Candidate black holes have been identified in increasingly large numbers of galaxies, both inactive and active, to the point where statistical studies are possible. Fresh work has highlighted the close connection between the formation, growth, and evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. This volume contains the invited lectures from an international symposium that was held to explore this exciting theme, and is a valuable review for professional astronomers and graduate students.
Book Synopsis The Early Growth of the First Black Holes by :

Book excerpt: With detections of quasars powered by increasingly massive black holes at increasingly early times in cosmic history over the past decade, there has been correspondingly rapid progress made on the theory of early black hole formation and growth. Here, we review the emerging picture of how the first massive black holes formed from the primordial gas and then grew to supermassive scales. We discuss the initial conditions for the formation of the progenitors of these seed black holes, the factors dictating the initial masses with which they form, and their initial stages of growth via accretion, which may occur at super-Eddington rates. Lastly, we briefly discuss how these results connect to large-scale simulations of the growth of supermassive black holes in the first billion years after the Big Bang.
Book Synopsis Galaxy Formation and Mergers with Stars and Massive Black Holes by : Chi-hun Kim
Download or read book Galaxy Formation and Mergers with Stars and Massive Black Holes written by Chi-hun Kim and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While mounting observational evidence suggests the coevolution of galaxies and their embedded massive black holes (MBHs), a comprehensive astrophysical understanding which incorporates both galaxies and MBHs has been missing. To tackle the nonlinear processes of galaxy formation, we develop a state-of-the-art numerical framework which self-consistently models the interplay between galactic components: dark matter, gas, stars, and MBHs. Utilizing this physically motivated tool, we present an investigation of a massive star-forming galaxy hosting a slowly growing MBH in a cosmological LCDM simulation. The MBH feedback heats the surrounding gas and locally suppresses star formation in the galactic inner core. In simulations of merging galaxies, the high-resolution adaptive mesh allows us to observe widespread starbursts via shock-induced star formation, and the interplay between the galaxies and their embedding medium. Fast growing MBHs in merging galaxies drive more frequent and powerful jets creating sizable bubbles at the galactic centers. We conclude that the interaction between the interstellar gas, stars and MBHs is critical in understanding the star formation history, black hole accretion history, and cosmological evolution of galaxies. Expanding upon our extensive experience in galactic simulations, we are well poised to apply this tool to other challenging, yet highly rewarding tasks in contemporary astrophysics, such as high-redshift quasar formation.

Book Synopsis Supermassive Black Hole Growth During The Peak Of Cosmic Star Formation by : Nathaniel Robert Ross
Download or read book Supermassive Black Hole Growth During The Peak Of Cosmic Star Formation written by Nathaniel Robert Ross and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive galaxies in the nearby universe all show evidence of a central Supermassive Black Hole. The black holes are seen to grow over time by accretion of gas from their host galaxy, a phenomenon referred to as an Active Galactic Nucleus. This process is believed to be fundamental to the observed correlations between black hole mass and properties of the host galaxies. We have a more limited and biased understanding of the growth of supermassive black holes in more 'typical' galaxies at z 1 2. In this work, we search for Active Galactic Nuclei in a population of star-forming galaxies spanning a mass range of M 10^7 10^12 M at 0.62 z
