BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “The acquired kick velocity can be as large as ~ 100 kms(−1), enough to eject the coalesced binary out of the host galaxy.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “In major mergers, BHs follow the fate of their host galaxies, coalescing to form a more massive BH. However, during this process, a large centre-of-mass recoil (kick) can be imparted to the newly formed BH as a consequence of asymmetric GW emission.” (BH = black hole; GW = gravitational wave). https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE SEEDS. “The chemical enrichment of a given halo is indeed the result of the ongoing and past star formation (i.e. metals and dust produced by stars in the parent galaxy and/or its progenitors) as well as contamination by infalling material from outside the halo (galactic winds). Both self-enrichment and winds play a role in setting the conditions for seed BH formation.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

NEW ELEMENTS. “As the first generation of stars form in the Universe, they also create the first wave of metals that provide the conditions for Pop II star formation.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

ENORMOUSLY ACTIVE. “Massive and fast large scale gas outflows, associated to quasar activity, have been observed in local and high-redshift quasars.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

ANTECEDENTS. “It is well known that scientists frequently build their original work on memories of the antecedent contributions of others which are not always clearly in consciousness. Truly original ideas, totally devoid of instigation by previous work of others, are remarkably rare and constitute milestones in the history of the development of mankind.” (Nathan Roth, New York, 2017) https://lnkd.in/dJ5pwkMS.

SEVILLE CATHEDRAL’S CARVED STONE FEASTS. “For almost 500 years, the arch that connects the largest Gothic cathedral in the world with its Renaissance sacristy has offered visitors a sumptuous, if little glimpsed – and even less studied – vision of religious bounty.” Stunningly detailed plates of food, ethnically cleansed by the commissioning bishop. https://lnkd.in/d_YajSaa View in LinkedIn

GALAXY EVOLUTION. “Discovering the process by which the dense, gravitationally bound galaxies formed in the Universe from an initially almost uniform gas, and understanding the way their constituent populations of stars were born is a key goal of modern physical cosmology.” https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn
