The possible influence of galactic interaction on the formation and growth of supermassive black holes in their nuclei and
the dynamics of their circumnuclear regions are considered, based on new data from the updated Vorontsov-Velyaminov catalog
of interacting galaxies and modern estimates of the masses of supermassive black holes. A sample of interacting galaxies with
known black-hole masses is created, and the dependence of the masses of the central black holes on the absolute B magnitudes and central stellar velocity dispersions in the host galaxy derived for this sample. A statistical analysis of
the sample shows that the black-hole masses in interacting galaxies satisfy the same mass-velocity dispersion relation as
non-interacting galaxies. A higher mass dispersion is characteristic of merging pairs than for galaxies that interact in other
ways. The maximum masses of the central black holes are observed in radio galaxies. 相似文献

We have used two astrometric methods developed at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences—the method of apparent-motion parameters (AMP) and a direct geometrical method (DGM)—to derive the orbit of the star S2 around the Galactic center, and thereby the mass of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center. The AMP method, which is based on measurements of the curvature of a fairly short orbital arc, is efficient if observational data on the relative radial velocity are available. The mass of the supermassive black hole was also estimated using astrophysical methods, based on the empirical relation between the masses of the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies and quasars and the radio and X-ray luminosities of these regions. We estimate the magnetic-field strength near the event horizon of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center using a synchrotron self-absorption model. 相似文献

We have estimated the masses of the central supermassive black holes of 2442 radio galaxies froma catalog compiled using data

estimation of the black-hole parameters are discussed. Upperenvelope cubic regression fits are obtained using the maximum
estimates of the black-hole masses. The optical and radio upper envelopes show similar behavior, and have very similar peaks

A model for the formation of supermassive black holes at the center of a cluster of primordial black holes is developed. It is assumed that ～10?3 of the mass of the Universe consists of compact clusters of primordial black holes that arose as a result of phase transitions in the early Universe. These clusters also serve as centers for the condensation of dark matter. The formation of protogalaxies with masses of the order of 2 × 108 M ⊙ at redshift z = 15 containing clusters of black holes is investigated. The nuclei of these protogalaxies contain central black holes with masses ～105 M ⊙, and the protogalaxies themselves resemble dwarf spherical galaxies with their maximum density at their centers. Subsequent merging of these induced protogalaxies with ordinary halos of dark matter leads to the standard picture for the formation of the large-scale structure of the Universe. The merging of the primordial black holes leads to the formation of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei and produces the observed correlation between the mass of the central black hole and the bulge velocity dispersion. 相似文献

We list and analyze the main currently known mechanisms for accelerating the space motions of stars. A high space velocity
of a star can be a consequence of its formation in the early stages of the evolution of a massive galaxy, when it was spheroidal
and non-stationary, so that stars were born with velocities close to the escape velocity for the galaxy. Another possibility
is that the star arrived from another galaxy with a velocity that is high for our Galaxy. The decay of unstable close multiple
stars or supernova explosions in close binaries can also provide velocities of up to several hundreds of km/s to main-sequence
stars and velocities of up to ∼1000 km/s to degenerate stars, neutron stars, and stellar-mass black holes. The merger of components
of a binary system containing two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole due to gravitational-wave radiation can
accelerate the nascent black hole to a velocity∼1000 km/s. Hypervelocity relativistic stars can be born due to asymmetric
neutrino ejection during a supernova explosion. Stars can be efficiently accelerated by single and binary supermassive black
holes (with masses from several millions to several billions of solar masses) in the nuclei of galaxies. Thanks to their gravitational
field and fast orbital motion (in the case of binary objects), supermassive black holes are able to accelerate even main-sequence
stars to relativistic velocities. 相似文献

The conditions for the formation of close binaries containing main-sequence stars, degenerate dwarfs of various types, neutron stars, and black holes of various masses are considered. The paper investigates the evolution of the closest binary systems under the influence of their gravitational-wave radiation. The conditions under which the binary components can merge on a time scale shorter than the Hubble time as a result of their emission of gravitational waves are estimated. A self-consistent scenario model is used to estimate the frequency of such events in the Galaxy, their observable manifestations, the nature of the merger products, and the role of these events in the evolution of stars and galaxies. The conditions for the formation and evolution of supermassive binary black holes during collisions andmergers of galaxies in their dense clusters are studied.

The formation and evolution of supermassive (102?1010 M ⊙) black holes (SMBHs) in the dense cores of globular clusters and galaxies is investigated. The raw material for the construction of the SMBHs is stellar black holes produced during the evolution of massive (25?150M ⊙) stars. The first SMBHs, with masses of ～1000M ⊙, arise in the centers of the densest and most massive globular clusters. Current scenarios for the formation of SMBHs in the cores of globular clusters are analyzed. The dynamical deceleration of the most massive and slowly moving stellar-mass (< 100M ⊙) black holes, accompanied by the radiation of gravitational waves in late stages, is a probable scenario for the formation of SMBHs in the most massive and densest globular clusters. The dynamical friction of the most massive globular clusters close to the dense cores of their galaxies, with the formation of close binary black holes due to the radiation of gravitational waves, leads to the formation of SMBHs with masses ? 103 M ⊙ in these regions. The stars of these galaxies form galactic bulges, providing a possible explanation for the correlation between the masses of the bulge and of the central SMBHs. The deceleration of the most massive galaxies in the central regions of the most massive and dense clusters of galaxies could lead to the appearance of the most massive (to 1010 M ⊙) SMBHs in the cores of cD galaxies. A side product of this cascade scenario for the formation of massive galaxies with SMBHs in their cores is the appearance of stars with high spatial velocities (> 300 km/s). The velocities of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes can reach ～105 km/s. 相似文献

Based on the available observational data on the diffuse X-ray emission from hot gas in virialized systems (the central regions of clusters of galaxies or the coronas of spherical galaxies) and the masses of the central objects in these systems (the central galaxies in clusters or massive compact objects—supermassive black holes—in the galactic nuclei), we show that the X-ray luminosity is proportional to the square of the mass of the central object. This is consistent with the dependence obtained earlier between X-ray luminosities of systems and the square of their optical luminosities (i.e., the luminosity of stars in these systems). The existence of such dependences for virialized systems on various scales may provide evidence that they are all formed by a single mechanism, such as hierarchical gravitational clustering. Although the times to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium between the gaseous and stellar components in systems on various scales differ, the relation between certain internal parameters of these systems may remain the same. This enables us to estimate certain parameters of virialized systems in terms of others, in particular, to estimate the masses of their central objects based on the diffuse X-ray luminosity of their coronas. 相似文献

The statistical relation between the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in disk galaxies and the kinematic properties
of their host galaxies is analyzed. Velocity estimates for several galaxies obtained earlier at the 6-m telescope of the Special
Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the data for other galaxies taken from the literature are
used. The SMBH masses correlate well with the rotational velocities at a distance of R ≈ 1 kpc, V
1, which characterize the mean density of the central region of the galaxy. The SMBH masses correlate appreciably weaker with
the asymptotic velocity at large distances from the center and the angular velocity at the optical radius R
25. We have found for the first time a correlation between the SMBH mass and the total mass of the galaxy within the optical
radius R
25, M
25, which includes both baryonic and “dark” mass. The masses of the nuclear star clusters in disk galaxies (based on the catalog
of Seth et al.) are also related to the dynamical mass M
25; the correlations with the luminosity and rotational velocity of the disk are appreciably weaker. For a given value of M
25, the masses of the central cluster are, on average, an order of magnitude higher in S0-Sbc galaxies than in late-type galaxies,
or than the SMBH masses. We suggest that the growth of the SMBH occurs in the forming “classical” bulge of the galaxy over
a time < 109 yr, during a monolithic collapse of gas in the central region of the protogalaxy. The central star clusters form on a different
time scale, and their stellar masses continue to grow for a long time after the growth of the central black hole has ceased,
if this process is not hindered by activity of the nucleus. 相似文献

Acceleration of spatial motions of stars by close-binary supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei
The conditions for the acceleration of the spatial motions of stars by close-binary supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei are analyzed in order to derive the velocity distribution for stars ejected from galaxies by such black holes. A close binary system consisting of two SMBHs in circular orbits was subject to a spherically symmetrical “barrage” of solar-mass stars with various initial velocities. The SMBHs were treated as point objects with Newtonian gravitational fields. Models with binary component-mass ratios of 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 were studied. The results demonstrate the possibility of accelerating neutron stars, stellar-mass black holes, and degenerate dwarfs to velocities comparable to the relative orbital velocities of the binary-SMBH components. In the stage when the binary components are merging due to the action of gravitational-wave radiation, this velocity can approach the speed of light. The most massive binary black-holes (M ? 109M⊙) can also accelerate main-sequence stars with solar or subsolar masses to such velocities. 相似文献

The condition for gravitational stability of the stellar disks of the galaxies NGC 936 and NGC 3198 makes maximum disk models unacceptable. We present mass estimates for these objects' spheroidal components. The mass of the dark halo of NGC 3198, within four disk radial scale lengths, exceeds its disk mass by a factor of 1.6 to 2. The masses of the disk and spheroidal subsystem (halo + bulge), within four radial scale lengths, are approximately the same for NGC 936. 相似文献

Spectroscopic observations of three lenticular (S0) galaxies (NGC 1167, NGC 4150, and NGC 6340) and one SBa galaxy (NGC 2273) have been taken with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences aimed to study the structure and kinematic properties of early-type disk galaxies. The radial profiles of the stellar radial velocities and the velocity dispersion are measured. N-body simulations are used to construct dynamical models of galaxies containing a stellar disk, bulge, and halo. The masses of individual components are estimated formaximum-mass disk models. A comparison of models with estimated rotational velocities and the stellar velocity dispersion suggests that the stellar disks in lenticular galaxies are “overheated”; i.e., there is a significant excess velocity dispersion over the minimum level required to maintain the stability of the disk. This supports the hypothesis that the stellar disks of S0 galaxies were subject to strong gravitational perturbations. The relative thickness of the stellar disks in the S0 galaxies considered substantially exceed the typical disk thickness of spiral galaxies. 相似文献

The scenario for the dynamical capture of a binary system in the neighborhood of a supermassive black hole used byHills in 1988 to predict the existence of hypervelocity stars (~1000 km/s) allows the existence of stars with relativistic velocities attaining (1/3?2/3)c, where c is the speed of light. The increase of the kinetic energy of these stars by more than a factor of 100 is due to the replacement of one component of the binary with a supermassive black hole. This scenario takes candidate of relativisti©velocity stars outside our Galaxy, into intergalactic space, where they could be ejected from merging galaxies populated by supermassive black holes. At present, this is a hypothetical class of stars with anomalous kinematics, but it is already posing a serious challenge for modern astrometry, which, like 300 years ago, is still concerned with the detection of proper motions. While this was related to stars in the solar neighborhood at the time of Halley, is now a problem for studies of the most remote and weakest stars in intergalactic space. Possibilities for detecting such stars must be based on estimates of their abundances, that is, on their statistics. This paper is based on a presentation made at the conference “Modern Astrometry 2017,” dedicated to the memory of K.V. Kuimov (Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Moscow State University, October 23–25, 2017).

Strong constraints are obtained for the spins of supermassive black holes in a number of Active Galactic Nuclei. These estimates are based on spectropolarimetric data, obtained mainly on the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory, as well as data on the kinetic power of relativistic jets. The magnetic fields at the innermost stable Keplerian orbit in the accretion disk and at the event horizon of the supermassive black hole are estimated. These data are used to place strong constraints on the spins of supermassive black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. 相似文献

The spins of supermassive black holes in FR I and FR II radio galaxies are estimated using two models for the generation of the relativisitic jets, based on the Blandford–Znajek and Blandford–Payne mechanisms: the hybrid model of Meier and a flux-trapping model. The magnetic field at the event horizon is estimated assuming equipartition between the energy densities of the magnetic field and the accreting material. The magnetic field near the inner edge of the accretion disk is estimated assuming equipartition between the magnetic pressure and the radiation pressure, and also assuming proportionality between the magnetic field and the spin. In the case of FR I objects, both mechanisms for the generation of the jets (the hybrid model of Meier and a flux-trapping model) are efficient. For the FR II objects, equipartition between the energy densities of the magnetic field and the accretion flow facilitates stronger retrograde rotation of the supermassive black hole. Plots of spin versus mass suggest a predominantly chaotic character for the accretion in both types of radio galaxies. 相似文献

The observed variety of types of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in galaxies with various masses and morphologies is considered. It is proposed that this diversity is related to the evolutionary development of their host galaxies and central regions, including their bulges, massive black holes, and accretion disks. A possible evolutionary scenario explaining the relationship between various types of AGN is proposed, in which, in addition to differences in the accretion states of the circumnuclear disks, the type of host galaxy is also taken into consideration. Special attention is given to the qualitative similarity of the accretion and radiative processes occurring in active objects with stellar-mass black holes (microquasars) and in AGN, in spite of the huge differences in the masses of their black holes. Studies of variability of the emission of microquasars taking this similarity into account can be used to make predictions about the behavior of the emission of AGN (with scaling in accordance with the black-hole mass). 相似文献

After 50 years of observational studies of black holes, great progress has been achieved in this branch of astrophysics. Several dozen stellar-mass black holes have been discovered in X-ray binaries, and several hundred supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. The remarkable recent discovery of gravitational waves from merging black holes in a binary system by LIGO marks the beginning of a new stage in black-hole research. It is quite possible that gravitational-wave studies will provide definitive evidence for the existence of event horizons in black holes in the near future. On the other hand, the development of methods for space and ground-based radio-interferometry observations provides hope that it will be possible to obtain images of “shadows” of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei, and to observe directly processes occurring in the vicinities of the event horizons of supermassive black holes. This is important for tests of general relativity in extremely strong gravitational fields. 相似文献

Estimates of the masses of supermassive black holes (M bh ) in the nuclei of disk galaxies with known rotation curves are compared with estimates of the rotational velocities V m and the “indicative” masses of the galaxies M i . Although there is a correlation between M bh and V m or M i , it is appreciably weaker than the correlation with the central velocity dispersion. The values of M bh for early-type galaxies (S0-Sab), which have more massive bulges, are, on average, higher than the values for late-type galaxies with the same rotational velocities. We conclude that the black-hole masses are determined primarily by the properties of the bulge and not the rotational velocity or the mass of the galaxy. 相似文献

The results of multicolor surface photometry of the S0 galaxies NGC 524, NGC 1138, and NGC 7280 and the spiral galaxies NGC 532, NGC 783, and NGC 1589 are reported. U BV RI observations were acquired with the 1.5-m telescope of the Maidanak Observatory (Uzbekistan), while JHK data were taken from the 2MASS catalog. The overall structure of the galaxies is analyzed and the galaxy images decomposed into bulge and disk components. The parameters of the galaxy components—rings, bars, spiral arms, and dust lanes—are determined. The bulge/disk decompositions based on averaged one-dimensional photometric profiles yield incorrect parameters for the bulges of the S0-Sa galaxies with bars and/or rings, whose inner regions are dominated by the radiation of the bulge. 相似文献

The relationship between the masses of the central, supermassive black holes (M bh) and of the nuclear star clusters (M nc) of disk galaxies with various parameters galaxies are considered: the rotational velocity at R = 2 kpc V (2), the maximum rotational velocity V max, the indicative dynamical mass M 25, the integrated mass of the stellar populationM *, and the integrated color index B-V. The rotational velocities andmasses of the central objects were taken from the literature. ThemassM nc correlatesmore closely with the kinematic parameters and the disk mass than M bh, including with the velocity V max, which is closely related to the virial mass of the dark halo. On average, lenticular galaxies are characterized by higher massesM bh compared to other types of galaxies with similar characteristics. The dependence of the blackhole mass on the color index is bimodal: galaxies of the red group (red-sequence) with B-V >0.6–0.7 which are mostly early-type galaxies with weak star formation, differ appreciably from blue galaxies, which have higher values of M nc and M bh. At the dependences we consider between the masses of the central objects and the parameters of the host galaxies (except for the dependence of M bh on the central velocity dispersion), the red-group galaxies have systematically higher M bh values, even when the host-galaxy parameters are similar. In contrast, in the case of nuclear star clusters, the blue and red galaxies form unified sequences. The results agree with scenarios in which most red-group galaxies form as a result of the partial or complete loss of interstellar gas in a stage of high nuclear activity in galaxies whose central black-hole masses exceed 106?107 M ⊙ (depending on the mass of the galaxy itself). The bulk of disk galaxies with M bh > 107 M ⊙ are lenticular galaxies (types S0, E/S0) whose disks are practically devoid of gas. 相似文献
