Thesis
The obscured universe: tracing star formation and AGN activity across cosmic time
- Abstract:
-
Most galaxies harbour a supermassive black hole at their centre, which are thought to play a key role in the evolution of galaxies, where the extreme energy outputted by accretion onto the SMBH can regulate star-formation in the host galaxy. With a majority of AGN activity heavily obscured by dust, understanding the growth/evolution of SMBHs requires peering behind the dust. The most extreme of these objects can provide a population to explain the hard X-rays in the cosmic X-ray background...
