Spinning Black Hole Pairs: Dynamics and Gravitational Waves
Black hole binaries will be an important source of gravitational radiation for both ground-based and future space-based gravitational wave detectors. The study of such systems will offer a unique opportunity to test the dynamical predictions of general relativity when gravity is very strong. To …

Unification of QSOs via black hole and accretion properties
… of the underlying engine, such as luminosity, black hole mass (MBH) and Eddington ratio (L/LEdd), are crucial to our understanding of QSO central engines. Broad Absorption Line (BAL) QSOs are a particularly interesting type of QSO that exhibits both orientation and intrinsic property-related …

Accretion topics in astrophysics
… with small angular momentum around a rotating black hole. This regime of accretion may occur in X-ray binaries and GRBs. The second work is on neutrino antineutrino annihilation in the vicinity of a hyper-accreting black hole. This work is relevant for the study of GRBs, in particular it …

From Measure Zero to Measure Hero: Periodic Kerr Orbits and Gravitational Wave Physics
… mass compact objects spiraling into supermassive black holes have received particular attention as sources of gravitational waves detectable by space-based gravitational wave observatories. A well-established approach models such an extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRI) as an adiabatic progression …

Mergers of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Gas-rich Environments: Models of Event Rates and Electromagnetic Signatures
Supermassive black holes permeate the observable Universe, residing in the nuclei of all or nearly all nearby massive galaxies and powering luminous quasars as far as ten billion light years away. These monstrous objects must grow through a combination of gas accretion and mergers of less massive …
