Numerical studies of black hole greybody factors indicate that Hawking emission from a highly rotating black hole is strongly spin dependent, with particles of highest spin (gravitons) dominating the energy spectrum. So far, there has been…

We present a mechanism for long bursts of gravitational radiation from Kerr black holes surrounded by a torus. These systems are believed to form in core-collapse of massive stars in association with gamma-ray bursts. The torus catalyzes…

Black hole (BH) evaporation is caused by creation of entangled particle-antiparticle pairs near the event horizon, with one carrying positive energy to infinity and the other carrying negative energy into the BH. Since under the event…

The cumulative light curves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) smooth the spiky nature of the running light curve. The cumulative count increases in an approximately linear way with time t for most bursts. In 19 out of 398 GRBs with T90 > 2s, the…

The spectra of active galactic nuclei exhibit broad-emission lines that presumably originate in the Broad-Line Region (BLR) with gaseous-dusty clouds in a predominantly Keplerian motion around the central black hole. Signatures of both…

Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/radio-quiet dichotomy in the AGN population is usually…

We compute the evolution of a quasi-spherical, slowly rotating accretion flow around a black hole, whose mass and spin evolve adequately to the mass-energy transfer through the horizon. Our model is relevant for the central engine driving a…

The observations and theory of the exciting new class of galactic black hole X-ray transients is reviewed. Seven of these systems have measured mass functions or mass estimates in excess of stable neutron stars, making them excellent black…

Ultralight bosons can form macroscopic gravitational-atom clouds around rotating black holes via superradiance, sourcing quasi-monochromatic gravitational waves through level transitions and annihilation. Primordial black holes provide a…

Galactic black hole coronae are composed of a hot, magnetized plasma. The spectral energy distribution produced in this component of X-ray binaries can be strongly affected by different interactions between locally injected relativistic…

When rotating primordial black holes evaporate via Hawking radiation, their rotational energy and mass are dissipated with different dynamics. We investigate the effect of these dynamics on the production of dark radiation -- in the form of…

Several AGN and black hole X-ray binaries show a clear very broad iron line which is strong evidence that the black holes are rapidly spinning. Detailed analysis of these objects shows that the emission line is not significantly affected by…

We study numerically in the time domain the linearized gravitational waves emitted from a plunge into a nearly extremal Kerr black hole by solving the inhomogeneous Teukolsky equation. We consider spinning black holes for which the specific…

A graviton laser works, in principle, by the stimulated emission of coherent gravitons from a lasing medium. For significant amplification, we must have a very long path length and/or very high densities. Black holes and the existence of…

We review recent work on the Hawking radiation of rotating brane black holes, as may be produced at the LHC. We outline the methodology for calculating the fluxes of particles, energy and angular momentum by spin-0, spin-1/2 and spin-1…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are sources of energetic, highly variable fluxes of gamma rays, which demonstrates that they are powerful particle accelerators. Besides relativistic electrons, GRBs should also accelerate high-energy hadrons, some…

We present a specific scenario for the link between GRB and hypernovae, based on Blandford-Znajek extraction of black-hole spin energy. Such a mechanism requires a high angular momentum in the progenitor object. The observed association of…

The spin-energy $E_{rot}$ of a Kerr black hole surrounded by a torus may power emissions in multiple windows. The recently determined true GRB-energy of $3-5\times 10^{50}$ erg indicates a minor fraction $E_j/E_{rot}\simeq 0.1%$ in baryon…

Jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are established emitters of very high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-rays. VHE radiation is also expected to be emitted from the vicinity of super-massive black holes (SMBH), irrespective of their activity…

Bright gamma-ray flares observed from sources far beyond our Galaxy are best explained if enormous amounts of energy are liberated by black holes. The highest-energy particles in nature--the ultra-high energy cosmic rays--cannot be confined…
