The AGN/Normal Galaxy Connection : Summary
arXiv:astro-ph/9902291 · doi:10.1016/S0273-1177(99)00228-8
Abstract
The connection between normal and active galaxies is reviewed, by summarizing our progress on answering nine key questions. (1) Do all galaxies contain massive dark objects (MDOs)? (2) Are these MDOs actually supermassive black holes? (3) Why are the dark objects so dark? (4) Do all galaxies contain an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN)? (5) Are the "dwarf AGN" really AGN? (6) Does AGN activity correlate with host galaxy properties? (7) How are AGN fuelled? (8) Is AGN activity related to starburst activity? (9) How do quasars relate to galaxy formation?
