Abstract

The formation and growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) physically related with bulges are considered. We focus on the radiation hydrodynamic process for the growth of SMBH in the optically thick starburst galaxies. In the present scenario, it is predicted that a host luminosity-dominant “proto-QSO phase” exists as a growing BH phase before the QSO phase, and the proto-QSO phase is preceded by an optically-thick ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) phase.
