BRIGHT ACCRETION. “By estimating the total energy radiated by AGN over their whole lifetime, it can be shown that nearly all the mass seen in dormant BHs today can be accumulated during the periods of observed bright AGN activity. This implies that there is not a great deal of room for ‘dark’ or obscured accretion.” (BH = black hole; AGN = active galactic nuclei).
