Funded Activity Summary

Setting the quasar feedback clock. This project aims to resolve the role of super-massive black holes in the life-cycles of galaxies. Accretion of matter onto super-massive black holes should profoundly change their host galaxies, heating gas and shutting down star formation, particularly when the black hole is accreting at its highest rate. It has been difficult to find clear evidence of the impact of such feedback due to lack of knowledge concerning the time-scales for star formation shut-down and accretion triggering. This project will combine data from the world's premier imaging spectrograph with multi-wavelength imaging and numerical simulations to discover whether black holes influence galaxies, and position Australian researchers to exploit next generation technologies.
