Both black hole accretion and galaxy formation and evolution are important research topics in astrophysics. They focus on quite different scales and both have been intensively studied.

IAU 312: Star Clusters and Black Holes in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time
Black Holes, dense star clusters, and galactic nuclei move into the focus of cosmological galaxy formation and evolution. High-resolution observations as well as simulations, in our local environment as well as in the distant universe approach the central engine and its co-evolution with stars and gas around. Black Holes formed in astrophysical environments are expected gravitational wave sources. Continua a leggere IAU 312: Star Clusters and Black Holes in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time
