Tracing black hole mergers through radio lobe morphology
(American Association for the Advancement of Science: Science, 2002-08-23)
Binary supermassive black holes are produced by galactic mergers as the black holes from the two galaxies fall to the center of the merged system and form a bound pair. The two black holes will eventually coalesce in an ...
Dark matter spikes and annihilation radiation from the galactic center
(American Physical Society, 2002-05-13)
The annihilation rate of weakly interacting cold dark matter particles at the galactic center could be greatly enhanced by the growth of a density spike around the central supermassive black hole (SBH). Here we discuss the ...
Galaxy cores as relics of black hole mergers
(Blackwell Pubilshing, 2002-04)
We investigate the hypothesis that the cores of elliptical galaxies and bulges are created from the binding energy liberated by the coalescence of supermassive binary black holes during galaxy mergers. Assuming that the ...
