BREEDING GROUND. “Recent ALMA observations presented by Trakhtenbrot et al. have revealed a large number, ~50%, of massive star-forming galaxies interacting with quasar hosts (within <50 kpc scales). The authors argue that this may support the idea of major merger-driven growth playing an important role in the formation of SMBHs in high-redshift quasars, at least those showing sub-mm galaxy (SMG) companions.” (SMBH = supermassive black holes; SMG = sub-mm galaxies).
