Scientific paper

Many cD galaxies in nearby clusters are accreting gas and experiencing star formation at cosmologically interesting rates. Some of the accreting gas is falling onto their supermassive black holes and driving AGN outbursts with enough power to regulate the level of accretion. If this is an important mode of galaxy formation, it could lead to the observed ratio of supermassive black hole mass to bulge mass found in nearby quiescent bulges. We propose to test this in three cDs whose bulges and black holes are currently growing at an unusually rapid rate. We intend to explore feedback processes in galaxy formation that may be shaping the luminosity function of galaxies.
