The evolutionary paths of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies
A new paper entitled “Evolutionary Paths of Active Galactic Nuclei and Their Host Galaxies,” published on August 17, 2023, in Nature Astronomy, provides critical new insights on the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The tight correlations observed between the masses of supermassive black holes and the properties of their host galaxies have long intrigued astronomers. No consensus has been reached, however, on how the black hole-galaxy relations arose or how they evolved over time. The specific link between the black hole mass and the properties of host galaxies of AGNs in the nearby universe has remained elusive. The study found that galaxies with actively accreting black holes follow a similar relationship between black hole mass and stellar mass, regardless of galaxy type. Moreover, the position of a galaxy on this relation appears linked to the level of star formation and black hole accretion activity. "Our results unveil evolutionary trajectories for galaxies on the black hole mass-stellar mass plane," said Dr. Zhuang. “The joint evolution of the galaxy and its central black hole appears synchronized over long timescales. Galaxies that have overweight black holes catch up by making more stars. Those that have skinny black holes allow the black hole to eat more. In the end, the two reach a happy balance.” The availability of a common gas supply for black hole accretion and star formation may account for the lockstep, synchronized growth of objects on the local relation. The evolutionary path of objects with undermassive black holes situated below the local relation supports a scenario suggested by recent simulations in which black hole growth initially lags behind star formation but later the situation reverses after the gas becomes stabilized at higher stellar mass. AGNs with overmassive black holes above the local relation continue to gain stellar mass, consistent with the detection of active star formation and abundant gas content in early-type AGN host galaxies. These trajectories suggest that radiative-mode AGN feedback mechanisms, which are expected to suppress star formation, are less effective for galaxies below the scaling relation. For galaxies above the relation, kinetic-mode feedback appears insufficient to halt long-term star formation. "This work provides new insights on the coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies that can serve as the definitive benchmark and framework for evolutionary studies," highlighted Prof. Ho. "The results offer critical observational constraints for numerical simulations modeling the complex interplay between black holes and their host galaxies." “This article explores the evolutionary paths of galaxies on the black hole mass–stellar mass plane in the nearby Universe, linking the properties of star formation and black hole accretion and providing critical constraints for active galactic nuclei feedback,” the editor of Nature Astronomy highly commends. “The findings in this paper are extremely interesting and are quite important for our understanding of black hole and galaxy co-evolution across cosmic times and their star formation and accretion,” says one of the reviewers.

The James Webb Space Telescope has just dropped a jaw-dropping discovery that's reshaping our understanding of the universe.In a stunning revelation, the Webb Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) has unveiled the presence of quartz (yep, the same stuff in your crystal collection!) in the high-altitude clouds of WASP-17 b. This is the FIRST time silica (SiO2) particles have ever been spotted in an exoplanet's atmosphere! 😲🌟
But that's not all, folks. This discovery not only redefines exoplanet cloud composition but also challenges our cloud formation theories. Who would've thought that SiO2 could be floating around out there, forming the building blocks of these otherworldly clouds? 🤯☁️
WASP-17 b, affectionately known as "Ditsö̀," is quite the enigma. It's a massive hot gas giant, completing its orbit in just 3.7 Earth-days. The diversity in its atmosphere, with hydrogen, helium, and even water vapor, is already intriguing, but add in SiO2 clouds, and it gets even more fascinating! ☁️🔍
The discovery reaffirms the importance of the James Webb Space Telescope in unraveling the mysteries of our universe. It's pushing the boundaries of space science, challenging our assumptions, and fueling our cosmic curiosity. 🛰️🔬
So, let's tip our hats to the brilliant minds at NASA and ESA and raise our telescopes to the skies because the cosmos just got a little more mysterious and a whole lot more enchanting! ✨🌠

No eye is left dry as the horrors of Hamas in Jewish communities are revealed by survivors. #IsraelFightsBack #HamasisISIS #muslimterrorism This fight is your fight, fight of every civil human being against these inhuman Muslim terrorists. Share the story. This is our story. No one is safe till there is a single Muslim terrorist and their sympathizer alive. Most violent terrorist attack since 9/11.
These terrorists and their sympathizers /supporters are inhuman. Full support to Israel in eliminating these terrorists. This is war of every civil human being. Sure there will be collateral damage but the collateral damage will be much larger if Israel doesn't eliminate these Islamic terrorists.
Watch this terrorist gets paid in kind during the massacre in Sufa.
The world needs to see what Hamas did. Hamas = ISIS, expose these terrorists and their supporters
