Merger-driven buildup of the - relation bridging high- overmassive black holes with the local relation

Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Kazuhiro Shimasaku +3

The origin of the mass scaling relation between supermassive black holes (SMBHs, ) and galaxies () remains a key open question. Rather than invoking AGN feedback,…
