Black Hole Growth and Galaxy Evolution Meg Urry Yale University
~All galaxies host supermassive black holes
The formation and evolution of galaxies is closely tied to the growth of black holes ~All galaxies have SMBH Contemporaneous growth of SMBH & stars M- relation

Deep surveys show most accretion is obscured GOODS, COSMOS, MUSYC, ECDFS, AGES, Lockman Hole, HDF-N/S, NDWFS, XBootes, XMM/LSS, … Hard X-rays penetrate obscuration Energy re-radiated in infrared High resolution optical separates host galaxy, constrains redshifts

The Interplay of Black Holes & Star Formation
First scenario Common trigger (e.g., merger)? Star formation starts (delay?) BH accretion delayed (angular momentum) AGN turns on, heats ISM/IGM Star formation turns off Stars age from blue to red

The Future of Deep Surveys Wider areas Deep X-ray (NuSTAR) Far-infrared, submm (Herschel, ALMA)
Survey Goals Cosmic history of BH growth (Treister, Glikman, Virani) – Herschel, NuSTAR deep surveys (COSMOS) – WFC3 imaging (to separate host and nucleus) Form of AGN energy injection – Narrow-band imaging of winds (SINFONI, Paulina Lira) – Absorption spectroscopy in rest-frame UV Phasing of AGN turn-on and SF turn-off (Schawinski) – Galaxy colors – Spectral signatures (better) Role of mergers (Schawinski) – Major vs. minor mergers (Galaxy Zoo, Cardamone) – Connection to cosmological simulations (Kyoungsoo Lee)
