Shaping Galaxies with Supermassive Black Hole Winds

Explore the fascinating relationship between supermassive black holes and galaxy formation in this hour-long lecture by Mitchell Revalski from the Space Telescope Science Institute. Delve into the powerful winds generated by growing black holes and their role in shaping galaxies, influencing star formation rates, and distributing heavy elements across the universe. Discover recent observations and simulations that shed light on these energetic flows and their impact on galactic evolution. Learn about diverse galaxy populations, active galactic nuclei, ultra-fast outflows, and the intriguing correlations between black hole masses and galaxy characteristics. Gain insights into astronomical spectroscopy, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and specific examples like NGC 4 and the Perseus Cluster.
