Supermassive black holes in disc-dominated galaxies outgrow their bulges and co-evolve with their host galaxies

Supermassive black holes in disc-dominated galaxies outgrow their bulges and co-evolve with their host galaxies

The deep connection between galaxies and their supermassive black holes is central to modern astrophysics and cosmology. The observed correlation between galaxy and black hole mass is usually attributed to the contribution of major mergers to both. We make use of a sample of galaxies whose disk-dominated morphologies indicate a …
