The Relation between Luminous Active Nuclei and Star Formation in Their Host Galaxies

Studies of central black holes (BHs) in nearby galaxies revealed tight correlation between the BH mass the host galaxy bulge mass, indicating a link between BH and star formation (SF) in the host galaxy. Luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by mass accretion onto supermassive BHs. Obser...
