The Star Formation-AGN Connection
Ryan Hickox
Abstract: A remarkable fact about supermassive black holes is that their evolution is connected to that of their much larger host galaxies. The existence of this connection, in some form or another, has now been clear for decades but its precise physical nature continues to be a matter of much investigation. This discus-sion will be a (very broad, and inevitably biased!) overview of what we know about AGN fueling and feed-back, and the current and future observational and theoretical tools we can use to explore them.
