Abstract: Galaxies versus black holes Observations in the near-ultraviolet from the the GALEX satellite provide new data on the link between the formation of young stars in massive elliptical galaxies and the supermassive black holes thought to reside at their centres, where they may interact with their hosts by means of 'feedback' in the form of energy and material jets. The data provide constraints in a sophisticated computer model of galaxy evolution, and suggest that there is a critical supermassive black hole mass at which jets and outflows from the black hole become so powerful as to stop all gas accretion and further growth of the host galaxy.
