THE GORILLA. “Present-day spheroidal galaxies host supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centres and strong correlations have been found between BH masses and properties of their host galaxies” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

GALAXY EVOLUTION. “It is now well known that the evolutionary history of observable galaxies also follows an ‘antihierarchical’ or downsizing behaviour, with several independent observational indicators suggesting that more massive galaxies formed their stars and had their star formation ‘quenched’ earlier than low-mass galaxies, which continue forming stars to the present day.” https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE DOWNSIZING. “The downsizing trend is also seen in the optical and the near-infrared.” https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE DISTRIBUTION. “This “would imply that very massive BHs seem to be already in place at very early times, whereas less massive BHs seem to evolve predominantly at lower redshifts. This behaviour is called ‘downsizing’ or ‘antihierarchical’ growth of BHs.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

“TIME reflects the sequence and duration of movements of matter, its energy state.” (Valeriy N. Pakulin, Saint Petersburg Russia). https://lnkd.in/dtWDgx2 View in LinkedIn

APPRECIABLE EFFECT. “Gas accretion on to BHs due to disc instabilities seems to be a non-negligible trigger mechanism for moderately luminous AGN with BH masses 10(7) < M• < 10(8) M⊙ at low redshift.” (BH = black hole; AGN = active galactic nuclei). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

FEEDBACK LOOP. “In our model, the gas content of massive galaxies is strongly dependent on the radio-mode AGN feedback, which suppresses cooling in massive haloes at low redshift. Low cold gas fractions may retard the loss of angular momentum due to smaller viscosity and thus, the cold gas flow on to the central BH may be suppressed.” (BH = black hole; AGN = active galactic nuclei). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

GORGING. “The BH-to-bulge mass ratio was larger at higher redshifts than expected from the local BH–bulge mass relation. This eventually implies that BHs were accreting more gas and thus, growing faster than the corresponding bulges at high redshifts than at lower ones.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

BALLOON EFFECT. “Due to the exponential growth of the BHs during accretion, it is also very difficult to use the local population of massive BHs to recover information about their original masses before the onset of accretion.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn
