In this Presidential Lecture, Saavik Ford will explain how we learned about these AGNs and how they affect the rest of the universe we live in. She will also share some of the new astrophysical insights we are gaining about AGNs from gravitational waves and exciting new time-domain surveys. The lecture will go into detail on how AGNs interact with their environments, especially the stars in galactic nuclei. Finally, she will address some of the open questions around AGNs, including how they are born, how they die and what we can learn from the nucleus of our own Milky Way Galaxy.Uploaded 05-10-26For more information please visit: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/event/when-supermassive-black-holes-get-hungry/ Learn more about your ad choices.
