We use fully nonlinear numerical relativity techniques to study high energy head-on collision of nonspinning, equal-mass black holes to estimate the maximum gravitational radiation emitted by these systems. Our simulations include…

The stationary, spherically symmetric accretion of dark energy onto a Schwarzschild black hole is considered in terms of relativistic hydrodynamics. The approximation of an ideal fluid is used to model the dark energy. General expressions…
We use the microlensing variability observed for nine gravitationally lensed quasars to show that the accretion disk size at 2500 Angstroms is related to the black hole mass by log(R_2500/cm) = (15.6+-0.2) + (0.54+-0.28)log(M_BH/10^9M_sun).…
A scaling relation based on thin-disc accretion theory has been used by some workers to determine the mass-inflow rate onto 20 high-redshift (z) and 80 Palomar-Green quasars. Based on several assumptions, it inexplicably implies that the…
Accretion onto black holes in wind-fed binaries and in collapsars forms small rotating discs with peculiar properties. Such ``mini-discs'' accrete on the free-fall time without help of viscosity and nevertheless can have a high radiative…

We used the standard geometrical thin accretion theory to obtain the accretion rates in Seyfert 1 galaxies and quasars. Combining accretion rates with the bolometric luminosity, we obtained the accretion efficiency. We found most of Seyfert…
The ongoing debate regarding the most accurate accretion model for supermassive black holes at the center of quasars has remained a contentious issue in astrophysics. One significant challenge is the variation in calculated accretion…
In this work, we study some characteristics and gravitational signatures of the Schwarzschild black hole immersed in a Hernquist dark matter halo (SBH-HDM). We determine the black hole's remnant radius and mass, which provide useful…
In this letter, we have considered accretion of a particular type of Dark Energy model onto a Schwarzschild type black hole. Before using the model, the free parameters of the Dark Energy model have been constrained with differential ages…
The key aspect determining the post-formation luminosity of gas giants has long been considered to be the energetics of the accretion shock at the planetary surface. We use 1D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations to study the radiative loss…
Radiative cooling can strongly influence the structure and dynamics of black hole accretion disks. Here, we perform general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GR-MHD) simulations of magnetically arrested disks (MADs) around a non-spinning…
We perform three general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of black hole accretion designed to test how sensitive results are to grid resolution in the jet region. The cases differ only in numerics, modelling the same physical…

We consider the distribution of local supermassive black hole Eddington ratios and accretion rates, accounting for the dependence of radiative efficiency and bolometric corrections on the accretion rate. We find that black hole mass growth,…
It is well known that supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies are capable of accelerating charged particles to very high energies. In many cases, the particle acceleration by black holes occurs electromagnetically through an…
