Studying the outflows from rapidly growing supermassive black holes

June 6, 2016June 6, 2016 Dr. George Mountrichas

An outstanding question in modern astronomy is how can growing black holes be so critical in the formation and evolution of their host galaxy when they are billion times more compact than the galaxies in which they reside in? KMOS, an instrument operating at VLT will allow scientists to answer this question and more.
