Observational constraints on the influence of active galactic nuclei on the evolution of galaxies

At the centre of every massive galaxy there resides a super-massive black hole that grew during periods of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity. Current theoretical models of galaxy evolution invoke AGN-driven galaxy-scale feedback processes (e.g., the expulsion of gas through outflows) in order to...
