Massive black holes in high-redshift Lyman Break Galaxies
Maria C. Orofino, Andrea Ferrara, Simona Gallerani
Several evidences indicate that Lyman Break Galaxies (LBG) in the Epoch of Reionization (redshift ) might host massive black holes (MBH). We address this question by using a m…
Growth problems of stellar black holes in early galaxies
Maria Carmela Orofino, Andrea Ferrara, Simona Gallerani
The nature of the seeds of the observed high-z super-massive black holes (SMBH) is unknown. Although different options have been proposed, involving e.g. intermediate mass direct c…
X-ray spectroscopy of the z=6.4 quasar J1148+5251
Simona Gallerani, Luca Zappacosta, Maria Carmela Orofino +9
We present the 78-ks Chandra observations of the quasar SDSS J1148+5251. The source is clearly detected in the energy range 0.3-7 keV with 42 counts (with a significance $\…
