What drives the growth of black holes?

DM Alexander, RC Hickox - New Astronomy Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing at the centers of
massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in …

Cosmic X-ray surveys of distant active galaxies: The demographics, physics, and ecology of growing supermassive black holes
