Seeing is believing -- Do we see black holes? |

Abstract |
Astrophysical black holes, those residing in Quasars to nano-quasars, cannot be 'seen' in conventional sense. However, the circumstantial evidences are piling up to show that they must exist. Based on very robust studies of hydrodynamic and radiative transfer processes specific to black hole space time, we are now pretty certain about the paradigm of the black hole accretion and formation of jets and outflows. We discuss this in the context of the stellar mass (nano-quasar), intermediate mass (micro-quasar), massive (milli-quasar) and super-massive (quasars) black holes. |
