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 …

A highly consistent framework for the evolution of the star-forming “main sequence” from z∼ 0–6
Using a compilation of 25 studies from the literature, we investigate the evolution of the star-
forming galaxy (SFG) main sequence (MS) in stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) out …
