The technicolor "big picture" of black hole evolution: Multiwavelength views of AGN, galaxies, and large-scale structures
Abstract
Large multiwavelength extragalactic surveys have revolutionized our understanding of the cosmic evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). I will discuss recent results on the host galaxies and clustering of AGN selected using a range of techniques from the radio to the hard X-ray wavebands, including data from the NuSTAR and WISE space observatories. I will show that relatively small dark matter halos hosting star-forming galaxies are connected with rapid but highly variable black hole growth that is often heavily obscured. In contrast, massive halos hosting passive galaxies are associated with slower, mechanically-dominated modes of black hole growth. I will conclude by discussing new analysis techniques for measuring AGN clustering and look to the future of large-scale extragalactic surveys.
