We build an evolution model of the central black hole that depends on the processes of gas accretion, the capture of stars, mergers as well as electromagnetic torque. In case of gas accretion in the presence of cooling sources, the flow is momentum-driven, after which the black hole reaches a saturated mass; subsequently, it grows only by stellar capture and mergers. We model the evolution of the mass and spin with the initial seed mass and spin in $Lambda$CDM cosmology. For stellar capture, we have assumed a power-law density profile for the stellar cusp in a framework of relativistic loss cone theory that include the effects of black hole spin, Carters constant, loss cone angular momentum, and capture radius. Based on this, the predicted capture rates of $10^{-5}$--$10^{-6}$ yr$^{-1}$ are closer to the observed range. We have considered the merger activity to be effective for $z lesssim 4$, and we self-consistently include the Blandford-Znajek torque. We calculate these effects on the black hole growth individually and in combination, for deriving the evolution. Before saturation, accretion dominates the black hole growth ($sim 95%$ of the final mass), and subsequently, stellar capture and mergers take over with roughly equal contribution. The simulations of the evolution of the $M_{bullet} - sigma$ relation using these effects are consistent with available observations. We run our model backward in time and retrodict the parameters at formation. Our model will provide useful inputs for building demographics of the black holes and in formation scenarios involving stellar capture.
We investigate the evolution of supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) in galaxies with realistic property distributions and the gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from the cosmic population of these BBHs. We incorporate a comprehensive treatment of t
We review theoretical findings, astrophysical modeling, and current gravitational-wave evidence of hierarchical stellar-mass black-hole mergers. While most of the compact binary mergers detected by LIGO and Virgo are expected to consist of first-gene
The next generation of electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatories will open unprecedented windows to the birth of the first supermassive black holes. This has the potential to reveal their origin and growth in the first billion years, as we
At the end of its life, a very massive star is expected to collapse into a black hole. The recent detection of an 85 Msun black hole from the gravitational wave event GW 190521 appears to present a fundamental problem as to how such heavy black holes
We use results from simulations of the production of magnetohydrodynamic jets around black holes to derive the cosmic spin history of the most massive black holes. We assume that the efficiency of jet production is a monotonic function of spin a, as
