The Rate of Gas Accretion onto Black Holes Drives Jet Velocity
Ashley L. King, Jon M. Miller, Michael Bietenholz +5
Accreting black holes are observed to launch relativistic, collimated jets of matter and radiation. In some sources, discrete ejections have been detected with highly relativistic…
X-ray Spectral and Variability Properties of Low-Mass AGN
R. M. Ludlam, E. M. Cackett, K. Gultekin +3
We study the X-ray properties of a sample of 14 optically-selected low-mass AGN whose masses lie within the range 1E5 -2E6 M(solar) with XMM-Newton. Only six of these low-mass AGN…
Low-Mass AGN and Their Relation to the Fundamental Plane of Black Hole Accretion
Kayhan Gultekin, Edward M. Cackett, Ashley L. King +2
We put active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with low-mass black holes on the fundamental plane of black hole accretion---the plane that relates X-ray emission, radio emission, and mass of…
Effects of Inclination on Measuring Velocity Dispersion and Implications for Black Holes
Jillian Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Kayhan Gültekin +5
The relation of central black hole mass and stellar spheroid velocity dispersion (the M- relation) is one of the best-known and tightest correlations linking black holes and the…
Multi-Wavelength Coverage of State Transitions in the New Black Hole X-Ray Binary Swift J1910.2-0546
N. Degenaar, D. Maitra, E. M. Cackett +11
Understanding how black holes accrete and supply feedback to their environment is one of the outstanding challenges of modern astrophysics. Swift J1910.2-0546 is a candidate black…
