Here, we briefly discuss the possibility to solve simultaneously with primordial black holes (PBHs) the problems of dark matter (DM), reionization of the universe, origin of positron line from Galactic center and supermassive black hole (BH) in it. Discussed scenario can naturally lead to a multiple-peak broad-mass-range distribution of PBHs in mass, which is necessary for simultaneous solution of the problems.

This paper is devoted to studying two interesting issues of a black hole with string cloud background. Firstly, we investigate null geodesics and find unstable orbital motion of particles. Secondly, we calculate deflection angle in strong field limit. We then find positions, magnifications, and observables of relativistic images for supermassive black hole at the galactic center. We conclude that string parameter highly affects the lensing process and results turn out to be quite different from the Schwarzschild black hole.

We investigate the dark matter halo density profile of M33. We find that the HI rotation curve of M33 is best described by an NFW dark matter halo density profile model, with a halo concentration of and a virial mass of . We go on to use the NFW concentration of M33, along with the values derived for other galaxies (as found in the literature), to show that correlates with both spiral arm pitch angle and supermassive black hole mass.

The general theory of relativity predicts that a star passing close to a supermassive black hole should exhibit a relativistic redshift. In this study, we used observations of the Galactic Center star S0-2 to test this prediction. We combined existing spectroscopic and astrometric measurements from 1995–2017, which cover S0-2’s 16-year orbit, with measurements from March to September 2018, which cover three events during S0-2’s closest approach to the black hole. We detected a combination of special relativistic and gravitational redshift, quantified using the redshift parameter ϒ. Our result, ϒ = 0.88 ± 0.17, is consistent with general relativity (ϒ = 1) and excludes a Newtonian model (ϒ = 0) with a statistical significance of 5σ.
