Observationally established correlations between black hole mass and host galaxy structural/dynamical properties (like the M_BH - sigma relation) give support to the idea of an intimate link between the growth of black holes (BHs) and their host galaxies. Active galactic nuclei represent a poorly understood phase (or phases) in the life of a galaxy, during which the BH growth is directly observable. With the advent of wide-field surveys and high angular resolution instruments, it is now possible to observe the source of energy in Seyfert galaxies and QSOs, and conduct both statistical and detailed on-object studies. Combining these two perspectives gives rise to new research questions and methods. This Workshop, aimed at discussing these questions and gathering the astronomical community working on AGN, their feeding and feedback mechanisms, and their relations to the host galaxies. The purpose of this summary paper is to condense in a few pages some of the ideas and discussion points that were considered during the Workshop. We would also like to call the attention to some open questions that are still matter of debate and drive the research efforts in the field.
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the primary reservoirs of cold, star-forming molecular gas in the Milky Way and similar galaxies, and thus any understanding of star formation must encompass a model for GMC formation, evolution, and destruction. The
Before the launch of the Fermi satellite only two classes of AGNs were known to produce relativistic jets and thus emit up to the gamma-ray energy range: blazars and radio galaxies, both hosted in giant elliptical galaxies. The first four years of ob
The discovery of gamma-ray emission from 5 radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies revealed the presence of a possible emerging third class of AGNs with relativistic jets, in addition to blazars and radio galaxies. The existence of relativistic jet
Aims. We investigate the different manifestations of AGN feedback in the evolved, powerful radio source 3C293 and their impact on the molecular gas of its host galaxy, which harbors young star-forming regions and fast outflows of HI and ionized gas.
Negative feedback from accretion onto super-massive black holes (SMBHs), that is to remove gas and suppress star formation in galaxies, has been widely suggested. However, for Seyfert galaxies which harbor less active, moderately accreting SMBHs in t
