Normal black holes in bulge-less galaxies: the largely quiescent, merger-free growth of black holes over cosmic time

Normal black holes in bulge-less galaxies: the largely quiescent, merger-free growth of black holes over cosmic time

Abstract Understanding the processes that drive the formation of black holes (BHs) is a key topic in observational cosmology. While the observed MBH–MBulge correlation in bulge-dominated galaxies is thought to be produced by major mergers, the existence of an MBH–M⋆ relation, across all galaxy morphological types, suggests that BHs may …
