The High-z Quasar Hubble Diagram

Fulvio Melia

Two recent discoveries have made it possible for us to begin using high-z quasars as standard candles to construct a Hubble Diagram (HD) at z > 6. These are (1) the recognition fro…

High-z Quasars in the R_h=ct Universe

Fulvio Melia

One cannot understand the early appearance of 10^9 solar-mass black holes without invoking anomalously high accretion rates or the creation of exotically massive seeds, neither of…

A Relativistic Disk in Sagittarius A*

Siming Liu, Fulvio Melia

The detection of a mm/Sub-mm ``bump'' in Sgr A*'s radio spectrum suggests that at least a portion of its overall emission is produced within a compact accretion torus. This inferen…

A Kinship between the EGRET SNR's and Sgr A East

Marco Fatuzzo, Fulvio Melia

Sgr A East appears to be a single, mixed morphology 10,000 year-old supernova remnant (SNR) at the Galactic Center. It also appears to belong to a class of remnants that have been…

A Monte Carlo Study of the 6.4 keV Emission at the Galactic Center

M. J. Fromerth, F. Melia, D. Leahy

Strong fluorescent Fe line emission at 6.4 keV has been observed from the Sgr B2 giant molecular cloud located in the Galactic Center region. The large equivalent width of this lin…

X-rays From Magnetic Flares In Cygnus X-1: A Unified Model With Seyfert Galaxies

Sergei Nayakshin, Fulvio Melia

Some recent work has shown that the spectrum of Seyfert 1 Galaxies is very similar to that of several Galactic Black Hole Candidates (GBHCs) in their hard state. However, the small…
