Probing the Evolution of Black Hole Mass Through Cosmic Time
No full textOur research addresses the observed evolution of MBH and L/LEdd of type 1 radio-quiet AGNs. Measurements of MBH and L/LEdd in a sample of sources at z<0.75 using the “Hβ method” (Netzer & Trakkhtenbrot 2007) as well as new measurements of these properties at 0.75<z<2 using the “Mg ii λ2798 method”) show significant evolution of L/LEdd for any value of MBH up to z = 2 (see Figure 1). In a dedicated near-IR project we obtained the most reliable sample of MBH and L/LEdd estimates for z ~ 2.3 and z ~ 3.4 AGN (Netzer et al. 2007; Shemmer et al. 2004); the distribution of L/LEdd is very broad (Figure 1) and ~ 1/2 of the sources have L/LEdd<0.2, implying tgrowth>tuniverse and hence an earlier epoch of fast growth. Our on-going Gemini–VLT campaign focuses on z ~ 4.8 sources, with the Mg ii line observed in the H-band (Figure 2). The analysis of ~ 1/3 of the spectra uncovers, again, a broad distribution of L/LEdd, with several sources having L/LEdd ≫ 1, suggesting an early episode of fast BH growth.</jats:p
The outlook for the metropolitan area
No full textThe author assesses the region's future and identifies policies that might improve the local outlook. He acknowledges that substantial cuts in the local tax burden could increase growth but doubts whether local governments could afford such widespread reductions. Instead, he argues, it would be more beneficial for authorities to seek ways to lower the cost of doing business in the region, possibly by reducing taxes levied on intermediate goods and services purchased by businesses.New York (N.Y.) ; Federal Reserve District, 2nd

Meeting Summary: A 2017 View of Active Galactic Nuclei
No full textThe topics covered in this summary review reflect the major areas discussed in the Padova meeting, in April 2017. They are divided into general categories: those areas where large progress has been made leading to a real new understanding (what we are doing “right”), and those where we are still in the dark (what we are doing “wrong”). The division reflects the status of the field as well as my subjective opinion
