We determined the spin value of supermassive black hole (SMBH) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) with investigated ultraviolet-to-optical spectral energy distribution, presented in the sample of Shang et al. (2005). The estimates of the spin values have been produced at the base of the standard geometrically thin accretion disk model and with using the results of the polarimetric observations. The polarimetric observations are very important for determining the inclination angle of AGN disk. We presented the results of our determinations of the radiation efficiency of the accretion flow and values of the spins of SMBHs, that derives the coefficient of radiation efficiency. The majority of SMBHs of AGNs from Shang et al. (2005) sample are to be the Kerr black holes with the high spin value.

We introduce a technique for gravitational-wave analysis, where Gaussian process regression is used to emulate the strain spectrum of a stochastic background using population-synthesis simulations. This leads to direct Bayesian inference on astrophys
ical parameters. For PTAs specifically, we interpolate over the parameter space of supermassive black-hole binary environments, including 3-body stellar scattering, and evolving orbital eccentricity. We illustrate our approach on mock data, and assess the prospects for inference with data similar to the NANOGrav 9-yr data release.
X-ray reverberation mapping has emerged as a powerful probe of microparsec scales around AGN, and with high sensitivity detectors, its full potential in echo-mapping the otherwise inaccessible disk-corona at the black hole horizon scale will be revealed.
Spin measurements of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) provide crucial constraints on the accretion processes that power active galactic nuclei (AGN), fuel outflows, and trigger black hole growth. However, spin measurements are mainly limited to a few
dozen nearby sources for which high quality, high S/N spectra (e.g., from Chandra, XMM-Newton, Suzaku, NuSTAR) are available. Here we measure the average SMBH spin of $sim$1900 AGN in the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy survey using spectral stacking analysis. We find broad Fe K$alpha$ line emission in the average COSMOS spectrum (Gaussian width $sigma=0.27pm0.05$ keV), and by fitting this emission line profile with relativistic line models, we measure the average black hole spin parameter $a=0.62~substack{+0.07 -0.17}$. The sample size, availability of multiwavelength data, and spatial resolution of the COSMOS Legacy field also provide a unique environment to investigate the average SMBH spin as a function of other observables (e.g., redshift, luminosity) up to $zsim5.3$. We find that optically classified Type 1 sources have broader Fe K$alpha$ line emission than Type 2 sources. X-ray unobscured and obscured sources, as defined by their column densities, have widths that are consistent with the optically defined unobscured and obscured sources, respectively. There is some evidence for evolution of the Fe K$alpha$ width and black hole spin parameter with luminosity, but not conclusively with redshift. The results of this work provide insights into the average spins of SMBHs in AGN, shedding light on their growth mechanisms and observed co-evolution with their host galaxies.
In this paper, we investigated the issue of black hole masses and minimum timescales of jet emission for blazars. We proposed a sophisticated model that sets an upper limit to the central black hole masses $M_{bullet}$ with the minimum timescales $De
lta t^{rm{ob}}_{rm{min}}$ of variations observed in blazars. The value of $Delta t^{rm{ob}}_{rm{min}}$ presents an upper limit to the size of blob in jet. The blob is assumed to be generated in the jet-production region in the vicinity of black hole, and then the expanding blob travels outward along the jet. We applied the model to 32 blazars, 29 of which were detected in gamma rays by satellites, and these $Delta t^{rm{ob}}_{rm{min}}$ are on the order of hours with large variability amplitudes. In general, these $M_{bullet}$ estimated with this method are not inconsistent with those masses reported in the literatures. This model is natural to connect $M_{bullet}$ with $Delta t^{rm{ob}}_{rm{min}}$ for blazars, and seems to be applicable to constrain $M_{bullet}$ in the central engines of blazars.
We determine the spin of a supermassive black hole in the context of discseismology by comparing newly detected quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of radio emission in the Galactic centre, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), as well as infrared and X-ray emissi
ons with those of the Galactic black holes. We find that the spin parameters of black holes in Sgr A* and in Galactic X-ray sources have a unique value of $approx 0.44$ which is smaller than the generally accepted value for supermassive black holes, suggesting evidence for the angular momentum extraction of black holes during the growth of supermassive black holes. Our results demonstrate that the spin parameter approaches the equilibrium value where spin-up via accretion is balanced by spin-down via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism regardless of its initial spin. We anticipate that measuring the spin of black holes by using QPOs will open a new window for exploring the evolution of black holes in the Universe.
