本文开始总结了星系演化与超大质量黑洞之间存在密切关系的证据。它们显然共享一个共同的燃料源,可能需要来自黑洞的反馈来抑制大质量星系的过度冷却。然后我回顾了我们所知道的关于现代宇宙中星系和黑洞的共同进化(z 2),最大质量的黑洞和最大质量星系的祖先正在形成。在这里,我们目前对它们的共同进化有一个诱人但支离破碎的观点。在接下来的十年里,我们观测站的灵敏度和发现能力的巨大增长将使我们能够分析我们所需的大规模完整样本,以获得可靠而清晰的结果。
Abstract I begin by summarizing the evidence that there is a close relationship between the evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes. They evidently share a common fuel source, and feedback from the black hole may be needed to suppress over-cooling in massive galaxies. I then review what we know about the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes in the modern universe (z 2), the most massive black holes and the progenitors of the most massive galaxies are forming. Here, we currently have a tantalizing but fragmented view of their co-evolution. In the next decade, the huge increase in sensitivity and discovery power of our observatories will enable us to analyze the large, complete samples we need to achieve robust and clear results.
