[astro-ph/9912186] Astrophysical Evidence For The Existence Of Black Holes
Review article by Annalisa Celotti, John C. Miller, and Dennis W. Sciama (SISSA, Trieste) about the current state of the search for observational evidence for the existence of both stellar-mass and supermassive black holes.

Sciama (SISSA, Trieste, Italy) (Submitted on 9 Dec 1999) Abstract: Following a short account of the history of the idea of black holes, we present a review of the current status of the search for observational evidence of their existence aimed at an audience of relativists rather than astronomers or astrophysicists. We focus on two different regimes: that of stellar-mass black holes and that of black holes with the masses of galactic nuclei.

The disk is 3700 light years in diameter and encircles a black hole with a mass 300 million times that of the Sun. The black hole is at the centre of the galaxy. (with acknowledgments to the Space Telescope Science Institute). I became possessed with the keenest curiosity about the whirl itself. I positively felt a wish to explore its depths, even at the sacrifice I was going to make; and my principal grief was that I should never be able to tell my old companions on the shore about the mysteries I should see. From - Descent into the Maelstrom by Edgar Allan Poe What X-ray sources are there in the visible universe There are many different kinds of known X-ray source in the visible universe.

Extractions: refers to ... NASA ADS what is this? Authors: Sandip K. Chakrabarti (Submitted on 24 Feb 2004) Abstract: Fifty years ago, in 1952, the first significant paper on accretion flows was written by Bondi. The subject has grown exponentially since then. In fact, today many of the satellites engaged in space physics research look for signatures of accretion processes in whatever objects are studied. In this review, I will touch upon the significant developments in these years in this subject, emphasizing mainly on accretion onto black holes. Since winds and accretions are generally studied under similar framework, some references of the winds/outflows studies will also be made.

[gr-qc/0506078] Black Holes In Astrophysics
Review article by Ramesh Narayan (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) about the astrophysical evidence for black holes.
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0506078

Extractions: refers to ... what is this? what is this? Authors: Ramesh Narayan (Submitted on 14 Jun 2005) Abstract: This article reviews the current status of black hole astrophysics, focusing on topics of interest to a physics audience. Astronomers have discovered dozens of compact objects with masses greater than 3 solar masses, the likely maximum mass of a neutron star. These objects are identified as black hole candidates. Some of the candidates have masses of 5 to 20 solar masses and are found in X-ray binaries, while the rest have masses from a million to a billion solar masses and are found in galactic nuclei. A variety of methods are being tried to estimate the spin parameters of the candidate black holes. There is strong circumstantial evidence that many of the objects have event horizons. Recent MHD simulations of magnetized plasma accreting on rotating black holes seem to hint that relativistic jets may be produced by a magnetic analog of the Penrose process.

[gr-qc/9806088] Numerical Relativity: Towards Simulations Of 3D Black Hole Coale
Review article by Ed Seidel (then at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics) which discusses recent developments in numerical relativity. The main focus is the progress made in simulating the evolution of fully three-dimensional black holes.

Extractions: refers to ... what is this? what is this? Authors: Edward Seidel (Submitted on 23 Jun 1998) Abstract: I review recent developments in numerical relativity, focussing on progress made in 3D black hole evolution. Progress in development of black hole initial data, apparent horizon boundary conditions, adaptive mesh refinement, and characteristic evolution is highlighted, as well as full 3D simulations of colliding and distorted black holes. For true 3D distorted holes, with Cauchy evolution techniques, it is now possible to extract highly accurate, nonaxisymmetric waveforms from fully nonlinear simulations, which are verified by comparison to pertubration theory, and with characteristic techniques extremely long term evolutions of 3D black holes are now possible. I also discuss a new code designed for 3D numerical relativity, called Cactus, that will be made public.

Step By Step Into A Black Hole

http://www.spacetimetravel.org/expeditionsl/expeditionsl.html

Extractions: Relativity visualized Next Prev Home site map contact Deutsch English Ute Kraus , December 16, 2004, March 20, 2005 Computer simulated images show views of the night sky as seen from positions close to the horizon of a black hole. The descent towards a black hole is recorded with three cameras: No. 1 is looking forwards, i.e., straight into the black hole, No. 2 is directed sideways and No. 3 is looking backwards in the direction exactly opposite to No. 1. Each camera has a horizontal opening angle of 90 degrees so that together they give a panoramic view over 270 degrees of their surroundings. The images are taken while the cameras are at rest with respect to the black hole. They are labelled with the Schwarzschild radial coordinate, r, of the camera position which is given in units of the Schwarzschild radius, rs, of the black hole. The optical effects depend on the ratio r/rs only. To keep a camera at a constant radial coordinate it must be accelerated. The required acceleration, a, is noted along with the position and is expressed in terms of the gravitational acceleration at sea level on earth, g. It is calculated for a 10 solar mass black hole. It is possible to have the same optical effects with a much smaller acceleration; this simply requires a much more massive black hole. In order to remain at r=1.005 rs with an acceleration of merely 1 g, the black hole would have to have 20 trillion (20 million millions) solar masses, i.e. about 10 million times the mass of the black hole in the center of the Galaxy.

[gr-qc/9807045] Black Hole Entropy And Quantum Gravity
An elementary introduction (at graduate level) to the problem of black hole entropy as formulated by Bekenstein and Hawking. Written by Parthasarathi Majumdar based on a conference talk.

Extractions: refers to ... what is this? what is this? Authors: Parthasarathi Majumdar (Submitted on 17 Jul 1998 ( ), last revised 29 Jul 1998 (this version, v3)) Abstract: An elementary introduction is given to the problem of black hole entropy as formulated by Bekenstein and Hawking. The information theoretic basis of Bekenstein's formulation is briefly reviewed and compared with Hawking's approach. The issue of calculating the entropy by actual counting of microstates is taken up next within two currently popular approaches to quantum gravity, viz., string theory and canonical quantum gravity. The treatment of the former assay is confined to a few remarks, mainly of a critical nature, while some of the computational techniques of the latter approach are elaborated. We conclude by trying to find commonalities between these two rather disparate directions of work. Comments: 13 pages, Revtex, 5 eps figures.
