Title:
Anchoring the Top End of the AGN M_BH-sigma_* Relation
Project Description:
Supermassive black holes probably exist at the center of every large galaxy in the universe. In some galaxies, gas is falling into the black hole, and from the properties of the gas, we can measure the mass of the black hole. This program is observing a sample of those galaxies in order to better understand how the growth of those black holes is connected to the characteristics of their host galaxies.
