Black Holes, AGN Feedback, and Galaxy Evolution
I will review recent progress in direct detection of supermassive black holes in the cneters of galaxies, including a new population of intermediate-mass black holes in dwarf galaxies. Special emphasis will be placed on black hole-host galaxy scaling relations and their implication for black hole growth and galaxy coevolution. I describe efforts to characterize the interstellar medium of the host galaxies and constraints they place on AGN feedback models.
