The discovery that many nearby galaxies contain super massive black holes and that the black hole mass is proportional to the mass of the host galaxy has stimulated an intense research activity to understand the growth of super massive black holes in a cosmological perspective. The giant cavities produced by powerful radio sources in the hot intergalactic medium of galaxy clusters demonstrate that black hole accretion can affect the surrounding environment at large. Models of galaxy formation can reproduce the galaxy mass function, the colour bimodality of the galaxy population and the red colour of massive early type galaxies, but only when they include feedback from black hole accretion to prevent the hot gas from cooling. However, the mechanisms through which black holes affect their environment (hot bubbles, jets, radiation processes) are still a matter of debate. Another open question is if most of the energy injection happened at the epoch when super massive black holes and the early type galaxy population were assembled, or if it corresponds to a different mode from the one that fuelled optical quasars.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
