The Sudden Death of the Nearest Quasar
Kevin Schawinski, Daniel A. Evans, Shanil Virani +13
Galaxy formation is significantly modulated by energy output from supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies which grow in highly efficient luminous quasar phases. The tim…
Overview of EXIST mission science and implementation
J. Grindlay, N. Gehrels, J. Bloom +14
The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) is designed to i) use the birth of stellar mass black holes, as revealed by cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), as probes of the ve…
Black hole growth and host galaxy morphology
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +11
We use data from large surveys of the local Universe (SDSS+Galaxy Zoo) to show that the galaxy-black hole connection is linked to host morphology at a fundamental level. The fracti…
Galaxy Zoo: The fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies
Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry, Shanil Virani +18
We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby Universe (z < 0.05) and…
