SUMMARY:The Growth of Supermassive Black Holes From Seeds to Maturity - Je
 nny Greene (Princeton University)
DTSTART:20151105T160000Z
DTEND:20151105T170000Z
UID:TALK61353@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Simon Hodgkin
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the full life cycle of supermassive black holes
  (BHs). I will start with the formation of BH seeds at high redshift\, and
  the imprint seed formation may leave on the distribution of low-mass BHs 
 in dwarf galaxies today. From there I will discuss observational constrain
 ts on the merging of binary BHs. The other way BHs grow is through accreti
 on\, and I'll investigate the putative impact of BH growth on the surround
 ing host galaxy\, with a focus on luminous obscured quasars. I'll end with
  the old age of the most massive BHs known in the universe today.\n
