Finding QPE-like systems in MOCCA simulation
QPE(Quasi Periodic Eruptions) is new type of X-ray transient event first observed in 2018. It's characterized by the periodic X-ray outbursts in contrast to its quiescent radiation. One of the proposed model for QPE events involves a secondary body orbiting around the central massive black hole, generating periodic flares as the mass of the secondary object accretes onto the BH. These systems ...

Galaxy Cluster Studies in the Era of High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopy
Galaxy clusters, as massive, virialized halos within the cosmic web, serve as ideal laboratories for advancing our understanding of cosmology, plasma physics, and the nature of dark matter. High-resolution spectroscopy in soft X-rays will open a new window to map multiphase gas in galaxy clusters and probe physics of the intracluster medium, including but not limited to chemical enrichment hist...

Gravitational Lensing in the Kerr Spacetime: An Analytic Approach for Light and High-Frequency Gravitational Waves
Current efforts of the Event Horizon Telescope aim at resolving the black hole shadow, mainly with the goal to probe the nature of the black hole and thus the underlying theory of gravity. Here, including other lensing features, in particular multiple images either of individual sources or in form of the so-called photon rings, will allow to place much tighter constrains on the spacetime parame...

Investigating the link between the growth of SMBHs and their host galaxies with X-ray surveys
X-ray surveys have been an effective way to study growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Utilizing X-ray survey fields that have extensive multiwavelength data coverage, we can probe how SMBH growth links with the properties of their host galaxies, which will ultimately help to investigate the physical mechanisms behind the potential coevolution of SMBHs and their hosts. In my talk, I will p...

AGN SED Modeling: AGN luminosity in the simulated universe and implications on the era of reionization
The study of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) plays an important role in several aspects of the evolution of the galaxy. In this work, we model the black hole (BH) accretion flow for a wide range of BH mass and accretion rate. The accretion flow is divided into two regimes based on the Eddington-normalized accretion rate value - the ADAFs for low accretion ...
