Criterions for retrograde rotation of accreting black holes
A. G. Mikhailov, M. Yu. Piotrovich, Yu. N. Gnedin +2
Rotating supermassive black holes produce jets and their origin is connected to magnetic field that is generated by accreting matter flow. There is a point of view that electromagn…
Constraints on Spin of a Supermassive Black Hole in Quasars with Big Blue Bump
M. Yu. Piotrovich, Yu. N. Gnedin, T. M. Natsvlishvili +1
We determined the spin value of supermassive black hole (SMBH) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) with investigated ultraviolet-to-optical spectral energy distribution, presented in t…
Constraining Recoiling Velocities of Black Holes Ejected by Gravitational Radiation in Galaxy Mergers
M. Yu. Piotrovich, Yu. N. Gnedin, T. M. Natsvlishvili +1
Recent general relativistic simulations have shown that the coalescence of two spinning black holes (BH) can lead to recoiling speeds of the BH remnant of up to thousands of km/s a…
Polarization of broad line emission from AGNs with determined virial factors
M. Yu. Piotrovich, Yu. N. Gnedin, T. M. Natsvlishvili +1
We calculated the polarization degree of hydrogen Balmer broad emission lines from a number of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with determined virial factors. The objects were select…
New mechanism of radiation polarization in Seyfert-1 AGNs
N. A. Silant'ev, Yu. N. Gnedin, M. Yu. Piotrovich +2
In most of Seyfert-1 active galactic nucei (AGN) the optical linear continuum polarization degree is usually small (less than 1%) and the polarization position angle is nearly para…
A Polarimetric Method for Measuring Black Hole Masses in Active Galactic Nuclei
M. Yu. Piotrovich, Yu. N. Gnedin, N. A. Silant'ev +2
The structure of the broad emission line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains unclear. We test in this paper a flattened configuration model for BLR. The virial the…
