Calypso is a parameter-conditioned stochastic surrogate model for circumbinary accretion flows using PCA and multivariate Gaussian modeling, released as open-source software with a closed-form likelihood for parameter inference from time series.
Red quasars are intrinsically X-ray weak with low alpha_OX values, tracing a distinct evolutionary stage of suppressed black hole accretion relative to stellar mass growth.
Confirmation of 77 new heavily reddened quasars at 1.5 < z < 3.9 with high luminosities and extinctions, showing they are deficient in hot and warm dust relative to blue quasars and supporting a blow-out feedback phase.
Scalarized Kerr-Newman black holes develop an inner photon shell that produces an additional critical curve and distinct crescent-like higher-order images unlike those in Kerr spacetime.
Targeted PTA searches for CWs from 114 AGN in NANOGrav 15 yr data yield no detections, factor-of-two tighter limits than all-sky searches, and updated constraints ruling out part of the parameter space for a binary in 3C 66B.
In 5D Einstein-Bumblebee gravity, Kerr/CFT microscopic entropy of constructed rotating black holes matches Komar-integral entropy but not Wald entropy.
Kerr-MOG accretion disk spectra are softer than Kerr at fixed spin due to outward ISCO shift from the fifth-force parameter α, with an observational upper limit α < 0.044 from LMC X-1 data.

Low-luminosity AGN exhibit structure function slopes rising from 0.1 to 0.3 with black hole mass, no breaks on decadal scales, amplitude anticorrelated with luminosity and positively correlated with mass.
A new complete gauge fixing at initial data via Hodge decomposition on complete Riemannian manifolds enables existence proofs for Hadamard states in the quantization of Maxwell theory on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds.
Quasinormal modes for three spin fields on Einstein-Skyrme AdS black holes exhibit a mild overtone anomaly and confirm strong cosmic censorship with Christodoulou parameter β much smaller than 1/2.
Visibility modulations from additional photon rings appear only in spherical boson stars at restricted inclinations, while rotating cases show incomplete rings.
Adapts Sbierski's proof to establish future C^0-inextendibility for warped-product black hole spacetimes with closed, connected, homogeneous, orientable fibres, including nonvacuum cases and multiple horizons.
Chaotic Cold Accretion reproduces the observed near-linear black hole mass-bolometric luminosity scaling (slope 0.91) in z>2 quasars while Bondi accretion underpredicts by ~2 dex.
Evolved stars with radii ≳500 R_⊙ in nuclear star clusters can eclipse mm radio cores of nearby radio-loud AGN with ~10% relative depth, recurrence times ≳10 years, and durations ~10 days, enabling inference of SMBH masses and NSC composition.
JWST spectroscopy reveals radio jets in nearby AGN drive multiphase ISM turbulence and shock-dominated H2 excitation both along and perpendicular to the jet direction.
The orbital nodal phase Δψ_orb equals the nodal precession per orbit and serves as a pipeline-invariant baseline for Kerr black hole timing in the thin-ring limit.
An RG-improved Schwarzschild metric with de Sitter core is studied for shadow radius, scalar/EM/Dirac quasinormal modes via WKB and time-domain methods, SCC compliance at the inner horizon, and a Davies-type thermodynamic phase transition.
Numerical simulations show Shannon entropy and MIPP indicators distinguish chaotic from regular orbits of charged particles near weakly magnetized black holes in Einstein-ModMax theory, with parameters restricted by EHT shadow observations.
Bounded polymerization in asymmetric LQG-inspired bounce models makes shell-crossing singularities unavoidable for inhomogeneous dust collapse, whereas unbounded polymerization in non-bouncing models permits avoidance for suitable decreasing initial profiles.
Numerical geodesics show narrow deflection angles for massive particle scattering off RN black holes versus isotropic scattering off naked singularities.
Applies KCC theory for Jacobi stability analysis of geodesics in dynamical Chern-Simons rotating black holes and compares advantages versus Lyapunov stability.
