Powerful Radio-loud Quasars Are Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in the Cosmic Bright Ages

While supermassive black holes are ubiquitous features of galactic nuclei, only a small minority are observed during episodes of luminous accretion. The physical mechanism(s) driving the onset of fueling and ignition in these active galactic nuclei (AGN) are still largely unknown for many galaxies a...
