Abstract

Indian scientists have made significant contributions to the study of supermassive black holes (SMBH) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) through observational efforts, advanced data analysis, and theoretical modelling and simulations. Observational studies have been carried out using India’s own facilities’, such as AstroSat (India’s first dedicated multi-wavelength space observatory in UV and X-ray bands), the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), and optical/IR ground-based observatories as well as leading international observatories. This paper provides an overview of India’s contributions and outlines a vision for advancing future research in SMBH and AGN. It is an expanded and detailed version of the chapter on SMBH and AGN featured in the recently released Vision Document of the Astronomical Society of India.

超大质量黑洞和活动星系核

印度科学家通过观测、先进的数据分析、理论建模和模拟，为超大质量黑洞（SMBH）和活动星系核（AGN）的研究做出了重大贡献。观测研究已经使用印度自己的设施进行，例如AstroSat（印度第一个专用的紫外和x射线波段多波长空间天文台）、巨型米波射电望远镜（GMRT）、光学/红外地面天文台以及领先的国际天文台。本文概述了印度的贡献，并概述了推进SMBH和AGN未来研究的愿景。它是最近发布的印度天文学会愿景文件中关于SMBH和AGN章节的扩展和详细版本。
