Scientific paper

A census of the most secure dynamically measured supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the local universe is approaching completion. We propose completing a complementary Chandra survey by targeting previously unobserved SMBH host galaxies for exposures sufficient to reach 1e-8 times the SMBH Eddington luminosity or less. In addition, we propose exploratory 10 ksec observations of galaxies with strong, but not conclusive, evidence for SMBHs. Our program sheds light on the nature and evolution of accretion flows around SMBHs, and on the connection to the nuclear and global galaxy environment. A companion archival proposal focuses on additional, previously observed, SMBH host galaxies.
