48. Blazar Jets Through Cosmic Time: Tracing the Evolution of the Universe's Powerhouses

Invited

Blazar jets are among the most powerful particle accelerators in the Universe and provide a unique window into the growth of supermassive black holes across cosmic time. By tracing the evolution of blazar populations, we can investigate the connection between jet production and the rapid assembly of the earliest supermassive black holes, test whether the properties and power of relativistic...

28. Black hole - host galaxy coevolution in IMBH regime as seen by Hubble Space Telescope

Regular

There are two primary channels of SMBH growth: accretion of infalling material and galaxy mergers that lead to the mergers of their central black holes. The latter growth pathway results into the scaling relations between central black hole mass and intrinsic properties of the host galaxy (e.g., bulge stellar mass (Mbulge), velocity dispersion of stars in the bulge).
Our goal is to extend...
