Recent X-ray observations of intense high-speed outflows in quasars suggest that supercritical accretion on to the central black hole may have an important effect on a host galaxy. I revisit some ideas of Silk & Rees and assume that such flows occur in the final stages of building up the black hole mass. It is now possible to model explicitly the interaction between the outflow and the host galaxy. This is found to resemble a momentum-driven stellar wind bubble, implying a relation MBH = (fgκ/2… Expand

Black hole feedback in the luminous quasar PDS 456
A signature in x-ray spectra of a strong persistent outflow in the quasar PDS 456 is seen, estimating a broad solid angle spanned by the wind that enables a far greater impact on the host galaxy than narrower jet outflows. Expand
A 10,000-solar-mass black hole in the nucleus of a bulgeless dwarf galaxy

The evolution of black hole mass and spin in active galactic nuclei
• Physics, Computer Science
• 2008
It is concluded that supermassive black holes (SMBH) should on average spin moderately, with the mean value a decreasing slowly as the mass increases; SMBH coalescences leave little long-term effect on a; rare examples of massive holes with larger spin parameters could result from prograde coalescence withSMBHs of similar mass, and are most likely to be found in giant ellipticals.

Probing black hole accretion tracks, scaling relations, and radiative efficiencies from stacked X-ray active galactic nuclei
The masses of supermassive black holes at the centres of local galaxies appear to be tightly correlated with the mass and velocity dispersions of their galactic hosts. However, the local M_bh–M_starExpand
Black Hole Outflows
I show that Eddington accretion episodes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are likely to produce winds with velocities υ ~ 0.1c and ionization parameters up to ξ ~ 10 4 (cgs), implying the presence ofExpand

Energy input from quasars regulates the growth and activity of black holes and their host galaxies

• 2005
Simulations that simultaneously follow star formation and the growth of black holes during galaxy–galaxy collisions find that, in addition to generating a burst of star formation, a merger leads to strong inflows that feed gas to the supermassive black hole and thereby power the quasar. Expand

If the cosmological dark matter is primarily in the form of an elementary particle which has mass m(p) and cross section for self-interaction sigma, then seed black holes will grow in a Hubble time t(H) due to accretion of the dark matter to a mass, which produces massive black holes in the (10(6)-10(9) range observed.
