Supermassive black-hole growth over cosmic time: Active galaxy demography, physics, and ecology from Chandra surveys

Extragalactic X-ray surveys over the past decade have dramatically improved understanding of the majority populations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) over most of the history of the universe. Here we briefly highlight some of the exciting discoveries about AGN demography, physics, and ecology, with a focus on results from CHANDRA: We also discuss some key unresolved questions and future prospects.
