Sgr A* flares: tidal disruption of asteroids and planets?
Kastytis Zubovas, Sergei Nayakshin, Sera Markoff
It is theoretically expected that a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the centre of a typical nearby galaxy disrupts a Solar-type star every ~ 10^5 years, resulting in a bright fla…
The Milky Way's Fermi Bubbles: Echoes of the Last Quasar Outburst?
K. Zubovas, A. R. King, S. Nayakshin
{\it Fermi}-LAT has recently detected two gamma ray bubbles disposed symmetrically with respect to the Galactic plane. The bubbles have been suggested to be in a quasi-steady state…
Large--Scale Outflows in Galaxies
A. R. King, K. Zubovas, C. Power
We discuss massive outflows in galaxy bulges, particularly ones driven by accretion episodes where the central supermassive black hole reaches the Eddington limit. We show that the…
Self-Regulated Star Formation and the Black Hole-Galaxy Bulge Relation
C. Power, K. Zubovas, S. Nayakshin +1
We show that star formation in galaxy bulges is self-regulating through momentum feedback, limiting the stellar bulge mass to M_b ~ sigma^4. Together with a black hole mass M_BH ~…
