Overview
Learn about the influence of supermassive black hole winds on shaping galaxies, determining star formation rates, and distributing heavy elements in the universe. Explore correlations between galaxy characteristics and black hole winds through recent observations and simulations. The course covers tools of the trade in astronomy, types of galaxies, supermassive black holes, active galactic nuclei, and various outflows in galaxies. The teaching method includes a visual exploration of the topic, with a focus on Hubble Space Telescope observations. This course is intended for individuals interested in astronomy, astrophysics, and the formation of galaxies.
