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 …

Theoretical modeling of starburst galaxies

Fast molecular outflows in luminous galaxy mergers: evidence for quasar feedback from Herschel

S Veilleux, M Meléndez, E Sturm… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org

Herschel/PACS in a sample of 43 nearby (z< 0.3) galaxy mergers, mostly ultraluminous …

Growing supermassive black holes in the late stages of galaxy mergers are heavily obscured

C Ricci, FE Bauer, E Treister… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Mergers of galaxies are thought to cause significant gas inflows to the inner parsecs, which
can activate rapid accretion on to supermassive black holes (SMBHs), giving rise to active …

The dust opacity of star‐forming galaxies

D Calzetti - Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
The presence of dust in galaxies removes one‐half or more of the stellar energy from the UV‐
optical budget of the universe and has a profound impact on our understanding of how …

The multiphase structure and power sources of galactic winds in major mergers

DSN Rupke, S Veilleux - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Massive, galaxy-scale outflows are known to be ubiquitous in major mergers of disk galaxies
in the local universe. In this paper, we explore the multiphase structure and power sources …

Infrared radiation from an extrasolar planet

D Deming, S Seager, LJ Richardson, J Harrington - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
A class of extrasolar giant planets—the so-called 'hot Jupiters'(ref.)—orbit within 0.05 au of
their primary stars (1 au is the Sun–Earth distance). These planets should be hot and so emit …
