Measuring the spin of the primary black hole in OJ287

M. J. Valtonen, S. Mikkola, D. Merritt +7

The compact binary system in OJ287 is modelled to contain a spinning primary black hole with an accretion disk and a non-spinning secondary black hole. Using Post Newtonian (PN) ac…

Variability and stability in blazar jets on time scales of years: Optical polarization monitoring of OJ287 in 2005-2009

C. Villforth, K. Nilsson, J. Heidt +45

(Abridged) OJ287 is a BL Lac object that has shown double-peaked bursts at regular intervals of ~12 yr during the last ~40 yr. We analyse optical photopolarimetric monitoring data…

Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei

M. J. Valtonen, S. Mikkola, D. Merritt +7

Supermassive black holes are common in centers of galaxies. Among the active galaxies, quasars are the most extreme, and their black hole masses range as high as to $6\cdot 10^{10}…

Characterizations of Morita equivalent inverse semigroups

Jonathon Funk, Mark Lawson, Benjamin Steinberg

We prove that four different notions of Morita equivalence for inverse semigroups motivated by, respectively, -algebra theory, topos theory, semigroup theory and the theo…

Better Global Polynomial Approximation for Image Rectification

Christopher O. Ward

When using images to locate objects, there is the problem of correcting for distortion and misalignment in the images. An elegant way of solving this problem is to generate an erro…
