The Small Scatter in BH-Host Correlations & The Case for Self-Regulated BH Growth (2009)
Hopkins, Philip F., Murray, Norman, Thompson, Todd
Supermassive black holes (BHs) obey tight scaling relations between their mass and their host galaxy properties such as total stellar mass, velocity dispersion, and potential well depth. This has led...

Pruet, Jason, Thompson, Todd, Hoffman, R. D.
We consider nucleosynthesis in outflows originating from the inner regions of viscous accretion disks formed after the collapse of a rotating massive star. We show that wind-like outflows driven by...
