A path to radio-loudness through gas-poor galaxy mergers and the role of retrograde accretion
M. Dotti, M. Colpi, L. Maraschi +2
In this proceeding we explore a pathway to radio-loudness under the hypothesis that retrograde accretion onto giant spinning black holes leads to the launch of powerful jets, as se…

Evolution of massive black hole spins
Marta Volonteri
Black hole spins affect the efficiency of the "classical" accretion processes, hence the radiative output from quasars. Spins also determine how much energy is extractable from the…
