Talk Title: Black holes and galaxy formation
Abstract: In recent years significant evidence has been accumulated that the formation of black holes and their associated activity is intimately linked to formation of their host galaxies and plays a key role in shaping their evolution. I will discuss the application of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation to study the growth and activity of black holes in galaxies. By studying the interplay between star formation and black hole fuelling, we can identify physical processes that lead to the observed black hole-galaxy bulge correlations, and to the strong evolution of the quasar population. I will discuss the properties and the evolution of black holes in galaxies and what we can expect to learn from new observations.nter the abstract here
