We summarize what large surveys of the contemporary Universe have taught us about the
physics and phenomenology of the processes that link the formation and evolution of …

The quest for binary and dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the dawn of the multi-
messenger era is compelling. Detecting dual active galactic nuclei (AGN)–active SMBHs at …

Abstract We use SDSS+ GALEX+ Galaxy Zoo data to study the quenching of star formation
in low-redshift galaxies. We show that the green valley between the blue cloud of star …

Radiation, winds, and jets from the active nucleus of a massive galaxy can interact with its
interstellar medium, and this can lead to ejection or heating of the gas. This terminates star …

Numerical simulations have become a major tool for understanding galaxy formation and
evolution. Over the decades the field has made significant progress. It is now possible to …

We present integral field unit observations covering the [o iii] λλ4959, 5007 and Hβ emission
lines of 16 z< 0.2 type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our targets are selected from a well …

Supermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 85 galaxies by dynamical modeling of
spatially resolved kinematics. The Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized BH research by …

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 …

We combine high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/WFC3 images with multi-wavelength
photometry to track the evolution of structure and activity of massive (M⋆> 10 10 M☉) …

We investigate the effect of active galactic nucleus (AGN) variability on the observed
connection between star formation and black hole accretion in extragalactic surveys. Recent …
