DESCRIPTION:Black holes form at the centers of galaxies in the young Universe and, over the next 13 billion years or so, they grow together by factors of a million or more in mass. This growth generates energy that affects galaxy evolution and shapes our universe as it is today. In this talk, I give several alternative descriptions of a black hole, explain how recent multi-wavelength surveys of the sky have provided a census of black hole growth, and show computer simulations that illustrate galaxy mergers and the evolution of the universe across cosmic time.\n\n\n\nMeg Urry is the Israel Munson Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Director of the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics.
