Measuring the spins of accreting black holes
A typical galaxy is thought to contain tens of millions of stellar-mass black holes, the
collapsed remnants of once massive stars, and a single nuclear supermassive black hole …

Comparison of thawing and freezing dark energy parametrizations
Dark energy equation of state w (z) parametrizations with two parameters and given
monotonicity are generically either convex or concave functions. This makes them suitable …

The pattern of accretion flow onto Sgr A
The material accreting onto Sgr A* most probably comes from the nearby stars. We analyze
the pattern of this flow at distances of a fraction of a parsec and we argue that the net …
