Observational evidence for AGN feedback in early-type galaxies

Observational evidence for AGN feedback in early-type galaxies

A major amendment in recent models of hierarchical galaxy formation is the inclusion of so-called AGN feedback. The energy input from an active central massive black hole is invoked to suppress star formation in early-type galaxies at later epochs. A major problem is that this process is poorly understood, and …
