We present a new model for low-luminosity X-ray sources in globular clusters, with L_x < 10^34 erg/s. The model we propose is that of a single neutron star accreting from cluster gas that has accumulated as a natural product of stellar…

The $\gamma$-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN), including both beamed blazars and misaligned-AGN, dominates the extragalactic $\gamma$-ray point-source population count and flux. While multi-wavelength studies have detected an…

We found several extranuclear (r >~ 3") X-ray nebulae within 40" (6.3 kpc at 32.5 Mpc) of the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992. The net X-ray luminosity from the extranuclear sources is ~2-3 E39 erg/s (0.3-8.0 keV). The X-ray core…

In this paper I propose that the inner part of a black hole accretion inflow ($< 100 r_{g}$) may enter a magnetically-dominated, magnetosphere-like phase in which the strong, well-ordered fields play a more important role than weak,…

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) with jets seen at small viewing angles are the most luminous and abundant objects in the $\gamma$-ray sky. AGN with jets misaligned along the line-of-sight appear fainter in the sky, but are more numerous than…

The unresolved nuclear region of M87 emits strong non-thermal emission from radio to X-rays. Assuming this emission to originate in the pc scale jet aligned at $\theta \sim 30^\circ$ to the line of sight, we interpret this emission in the…

It is commonly believed that accretion discs are truncated and their inner regions are described by advection dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) in the hard spectral state of black hole X-ray binaries. However, the increasing occurrence of a…

We compute the flux of axions from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Axions can be produced in the accretion disk by the Compton, Bremsstrahlung and Primakoff processes. We find that the axion luminosity due to these processes is negligible in…

With new calibration data, thermal emission from the jet of radio galaxy M87 is studied with about 700 ks archival data with Chandra. For nucleus, HST-1, knot D, X-ray energy spectra is well fitted with a power law. However, For knot A, a…

The giant radio galaxy M87 is usually classified as a Fanaroff-Riley class I source, suggesting that M87 is a mis-aligned BL Lac object. Its unresolved nuclear region emits strong non-thermal emission from radio to X-rays which has been…

We report observation results of the super-soft X-ray sources (SSS) CAL87 and RXJ0925.7-4758 with the X-ray CCD cameras (Solid-state Imaging Spectrometer; SIS) on-board the ASCA satellite. We have applied theoretical spectral models to…

We consider the interaction of a slowly rotating unmagnetized neutron star with a hot (ion supported, ADAF) accretion flow. The virialized protons of the ADAF penetrate into the neutron star atmosphere, heating a surface layer. Detailed…

The HESS collaboration recently reported highly significant detection of TeV gamma-rays coincident with Sgr A*. In the context of other Galactic Center (GC) observations, this points to the following scenario: In the extreme…

We have studied the nuclear emission detected in high-resolution radio and optical data of carefully selected samples of low luminosity AGN (LLAGN) in the local universe. When the Eddington ratio is plotted against the nuclear…

We present analysis and photoionization modeling of the Chandra high resolution spectrum of Mrk 279. There is clear evidence of an absorbing outflow which is best fit by a two component model, one with a low ionization parameter and one…

A hyperaccretion disk around a stellar-mass black hole is a plausible model for the central engine that powers gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We estimate the luminosity of a jet driven by magnetohydrodynamic processes such as the Blandford-Znajek…

In the presence of a magnetic field, rotational energy can be extracted from black holes via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. We use self-similar advection dominated accretion (ADAF) models to estimate the efficiency of this mechanism for…

We show that the time delay between the optical and X-ray outbursts of the black-hole soft X-ray transient source GRO J1655-40, observed in April 1996, requires that the accretion flow in this object must consist of two components: a cold…

Ongoing millimeter VLBI observations with the Event Horizon Telescope allow unprecedented study of the innermost portion of black hole accretion flows. Interpreting the observations requires relativistic, time-dependent physical modeling.…

Low mass X-ray transients (LMXRTs) hosting black hole candidates (BHCs) display on average a factor of ~100 larger swing in the minimum (quiescent) to maximum (outburst) X-ray luminosity than neutron stars (NSs), despite the fact that the…
