Black Holes and Galaxies: An ``Active'' Field
Abstract
Tight scaling relations between supermassive black holes (BHs) and galaxies suggest that BHs play an active role in galaxy formation. I will focus on recent results involving actively accreting BHs that probe BH-galaxy coevolution. Specifically, I will focus on recent results in BH demographics and AGN feedback. I will finish with a forecast for exciting new directions openedby facilities like ALMA, NuSTAR, and 30m telescopes.
