The existence of∼ 109M⊙ supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion years
of the Universe has stimulated numerous ideas for the prompt formation and rapid growth of …

The existence of optical-ultraviolet Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) could be considered
surprising because their electromagnetic output was originally predicted to be dominated by …

Context. The AGN bolometric correction is a key element for understanding black hole (BH)
demographics and computing accurate BH accretion histories from AGN luminosities …

In this paper, we provide updated constraints on the bolometric quasar luminosity function
(QLF) from z= 0 to z= 7. The constraints are based on an observational compilation that …

Context. Feedback from accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is often identified as
the main mechanism responsible for regulating star formation in active galactic nucleus …

Scaling relations between central black hole (BH) mass and host galaxy properties are of
fundamental importance to studies of BH and galaxy evolution throughout cosmic time. Here …

Context. Aims. Active galactic nuclei are known to have complex X-ray spectra that depend
on both the properties of the accreting super-massive black hole (eg mass, accretion rate) …

We explore the evolution of stellar mass black hole binaries (BHBs) which are formed in the
self-gravitating discs of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Hardening due to three-body scattering …

Motivated by the increasing number of detections of merging black holes by LIGO-VIRGO-
KAGRA, black hole (BH) binary mergers in the discs of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is …

Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing at the centers of
massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in …
