Descripción
An extraordinary recent development in astrophysics was the discovery of
the fossil relationship between central black hole mass and the stellar
mass of galactic bulges. The physical process underpinning this
relationship has become known as feedback. The Chandra X-ray Observatory
was instrumental in realizing the physical basis for feedback, by
demonstrating a tight coupling between the energy released by
supermassive black holes and the gaseous structures surrounding them.
This white paper discusses how a great leap forward in X-ray collecting
area and spectral resolution will allow a qualitatively new way of
studying how feedback from black holes influenced the growth of
structure.
