Linking massive black hole spin evolution to galactic dynamics
23 Febbraio 2016 @ 11:45 - 12:45
The evolution of the spin of massive black holes (MBHs) is driven by accretion of gas and/or by black hole binary coalescences. I will discuss the physical processes involved in the MBH spin evolution, and present the results of a semi-analytical model that manages to reproduce the distribution of spins obtained from X-ray spectroscopy.
