Deep: Using simulations to understand the excess baryonic mass in the centres of high-mass, early-type galaxies
This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…
