Περίληψη:

One of the fundamental problems in modern cosmology is to understand
the formation of galaxies, and their evolution through cosmic time. A
significant bank of evidence has developed demonstrating the close
connection between AGN and their hosts. Theoretical models suggest
that this connection arise through feedback processes between the
galaxy and its accreting black hole. Feedback from AGN has become a
major component in understanding the evolution of galaxies. However,
its role still remains hotly debated. In this context, I will discuss
the results of my recent woks about the role of radio and quasar
feedback to the AGN - star-formation connection using multi-wavelength
observations and surveys from X-ray to radio bands (e.g. Chandra,
SDSS, Herschel, VLA). Based on the current models suggested about the
origin, the nature and the evolution of AGN I will approach the
ongoing debate about whether star formation is different in the host
galaxies of different type of AGN and how it is affected by the AGN
activity and the presence - or not - of powerful radio-jets.
