TAPIR Seminar

Four topics on the centers of galaxies

Scott Tremaine, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, School of Natural Sciences,

I will describe recent research on four disjoint topics, all related to phenomena in the centers of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs): (1) the dynamics of warped accretion disks; (2) the evolution of the young stellar disk(s) in the Galactic center; (3) a search for evidence of binary black holes in AGNs; (4) relativistic effects in the broad-line regions of AGNs.
