The close environments of accreting massive black holes are shaped by radiative feedback
Claudio Ricci, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael J. Koss +13
The large majority of the accreting supermassive black holes in the Universe are obscured by large columns of gas and dust. The location and evolution of this obscuring material ha…
Galaxy Zoo: major galaxy mergers are not a significant quenching pathway
Anna K. Weigel, Kevin Schawinski, Neven Caplar +9
We use stellar mass functions to study the properties and the significance of quenching through major galaxy mergers. In addition to SDSS DR7 and Galaxy Zoo 1 data, we use samples…
AGN and their host galaxies in the local Universe: two mass independent Eddington ratio distribution functions characterize black hole growth
Anna K. Weigel, Kevin Schawinski, Neven Caplar +3
We use a phenomenological model to show that black hole growth in the local Universe (z < 0.1) can be described by two separate, mass independent Eddington ratio distribution funct…
