Luminous Quasars as laboratories for the formation and evolution of SMBH/Galaxy Systems
IFPU
9-13 June 2025
The formation and evolution of Supermassive Black Holes (SMBH) and their host galaxies is a complex, multi-scale phenomenon with many unsolved aspects especially in the first few billion years of the Universe. The proposed Focus Week aims at joining the theoretical and observational side of the community in this field by exploiting, on a multi-band perspective, luminous quasars powered by highly accreting SMBHs as ideal laboratories to test this phenomenon.
