"Black Holes and Dark Energy Through the Eyes of Texas"

Abstract:

Both the central black hole and the dark matter profile play essential roles for understanding the dominant evolutionary processes in galaxies. I will overview recent observations which demonstrate significant differences compared to previous analysis, focusing on the most massive black holes and dark haloes in the smallest galaxies. I will also present expectations from future advances in each area, specifically coming from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX).
