Fueling supermassive black holes and cosmological evolution of their spins

It has been generally realized that supermasive black holes (SMBHs) are coevolving with their host galaxies in light of the famous Magorrian relation and SMBH mass-dispersion velocity relation. We find that the SMBHs are randomly fueled by starbursts with a delayed timesacle of ≈107 years and are spinning down with cosmic time from Sloan Digital Sky Survey data. The well-known metallicity-luminsity relation in AGNs and quasars can be explained by nuclear starbursts, and compact nuclear star clusters remain after multiple episodes.
