Discovery of an Halpha emitting disk around the supermassive black hole of M31

R. B. Menezes, J. E. Steiner, T. V. Ricci

Due to its proximity, the mass of the supermassive black hole in the nucleus of Andromeda galaxy (M31), the most massive black hole in the Local Group of galaxies, has been measure…

Ground-based near-infrared observations of water vapour in the Venus troposphere

S. Chamberlain, J. A. Bailey, D. Crisp +1

We present a study of water vapour in the Venus troposphere obtained by modelling specific water vapour absorption bands within the 1.18 μm window. We compare the results with the…

Extremely metal-poor gas at a redshift of 7

Robert A. Simcoe, Peter W. Sullivan, Kathy L. Cooksey +3

In typical astrophysical environments, the abundance of heavy elements ranges from 0.001 to 2 times the solar concentration. Lower abundances have been seen in select stars in the…

Collisions of charged black holes

Miguel Zilhão, Vitor Cardoso, Carlos Herdeiro +2

We perform fully non-linear numerical simulations of charged-black-hole collisions, described by the Einstein-Maxwell equations, and contrast the results against analytic expectati…

Effects of post-Newtonian Spin Alignment on the Distribution of Black-Hole Recoils

Emanuele Berti, Michael Kesden, Ulrich Sperhake

Recent numerical relativity simulations have shown that the final black hole produced in a binary merger can recoil with a velocity as large as 5,000 km/s. Because of enhanced grav…
