Galaxy Zoo: The fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies

We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby Universe (z < 0.05) and to break down the AGN host galaxy population by color, stellar mass and morphology. We find that black hole growt...
