BLACK HOLE GROWTH. “The hierarchical formation paradigm, the black hole growth is governed by mergers or by gas accretion via secular evolution. Black holes are assumed to undergo several episodes of significant gas accretion with complex hydrodynamic and magnetic processes, along with relativistic effects during which this accretion powers AGNs.” (AGN = active galactic nuclei).
