Unveiling the small-scale jets in the rapidly growing supermassive black hole IZw1

Xiaolong Yang, Su Yao, Luigi C. Gallo +10

Accretion of black holes at near-Eddington or super-Eddington rates is the most powerful episode that drives black hole growth, and it may work in several types of objects. However…

Intermediate-mass black holes: finding of episodic, large-scale and powerful jet activity in a dwarf galaxy

Jun Yang, Zsolt Paragi, Sándor Frey +10

Dwarf galaxies are characterised by a very low luminosity and low mass. Because of significant accretion and ejection activity of massive black holes, some dwarf galaxies also host…

Neutrino Rocket Jet Model: An Explanation of High-velocity Pulsars and their Spin-down Evolution

Zheng Li, Qiu-He Peng, Miao Kang +4

The fact that the spatial velocity of pulsars is generally higher than that of their progenitor stars has bothered astronomers for nearly 50 years. It has been extensively argued t…

Explaining the 'outliers' track in Black Hole X-ray Binaries with the BZ-jet and inner-disk coupling

Ning Chang, Xiang Liu, Fu-Guo Xie +2

In this paper, we investigate the black hole (BH) spin contribution to jet power, especially for the magnetic arrested disk (MAD), where only inner accretion disk luminosity is clo…

Detection of a Parsec-Scale Jet in a Radio-Quiet Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy with Highly Accreting Supermassive Black Hole

Su Yao, Xiaolong Yang, Minfeng Gu +7

The jet in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a key ingredient in understanding the co-evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Unfortunately, the mec…

Observational constraint on Dark Energy from Quantum Uncertainty

Long Huang, Xiao feng Yang, Xiang Liu

We explore the theoretical possibility that dark energy density is derived from the vacuum particle pairs together with the quantum fluctuation of space-time. By assuming the vacuu…

On the relation of accretion rate and spin induced jet power in low luminosity AGN

Xiang Liu, Zhen Zhang, Zhenhua Han

From Liu and Han (2014), the accretion-dominated jet power has a linear proportionality with the accretion rate, whereas the power law index is <=0.5 at lower accretion rate. Attri…

How to detect super-massive binary black holes at parsec scales

Xiang Liu

It is difficult to find or identifying the binary black holes in parsec scales, since the dual AGN may be merged quickly. It is required to explore more possibilities to identifyin…

Is radio jet power linearly proportional to the product of central black hole mass and Eddington ratio in AGN?

Xiang Liu, Zhenhua Han

A model for the relation between radio jet power and the product of central black hole (BH) mass and Eddington ratio of AGN is proposed, and the model is examined with data from th…
