Is it true that feedback from supermassive black holes regulates star formation in their host galaxies?
Unclear. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and simulations report that AGN feedback from supermassive black holes suppresses or quenches star formation, but each covers only a specific population or regime (early-type galaxies, barred discs, massive galaxies, or simulations), so the evidence supports the claim only in part.
