Black-hole-regulated star formation in massive galaxies
Abstract
The star formation histories of galaxies, as encapsulated in their integrated optical spectra, depend on the mass of the black holes present at their centres. Numerical simulations suggest that the supermassive black holes at the centres of all massive galaxies are necessary for regulating star formation. However, there has not yet been observational evidence of this regulation. Ignacio Martín Navarro and colleagues find that the star-formation...
