Recipe to feed a Supermassive Black Hole
Interaction between galaxies move gas to the central kiloparsec via bars or spiral arms; from there, inflows along nuclear spirals and compact disks transfer gas to the dusty torus, that feeds the accretion disk, that feeds de Supermassive Black Hole (Source: Storchi-Bergmann & Schnorr-Müller 2019, Nature Astronomy).
Cosmic Web at z=8: Universe at 5% of its age
Mass density distribution (comoving 15 Mpc side, dominated by dark matter) when the Universe had 5% of its present age and the first galaxies, black holes and stars were forming.

OH molecule as a tracer of the triggering of nuclear activity
In a paper recently accepted for publication (Hekatelyne Carpes et al.), we have shown that one more OH Megamaser galaxy shows a recently triggered active nucleus:
