Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS | Number: | 800 | Issue: | 1 | First Page: | L10 | Abstract: | We investigate the co-evolution of the black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and the star formation rate (SFR) in 1.5\lt z\lt 2.5 galaxies displaying a greater diversity of star-forming properties compared to previous studies. We combine X-ray stacking and far-IR photometry of stellar mass-limited samples of normal star-forming, starburst, and quiescent/quenched galaxies in the COSMOS field. We corroborate the existence of a strong correlation between BHAR (i.e., the X-ray luminosity, L<SUB>X</SUB>) and stellar mass (M<SUB>*</SUB>) for normal star-forming galaxies, though we find a steeper relation than previously reported. We find that starbursts show a factor of three enhancement in BHAR compared to normal SF galaxies (against a factor of six excess in SFR), while quiescents show a deficit of a factor times 5.5 at a given mass. One possible interpretation of this is that the starburst phase does not coincide with cosmologically relevant BH growth, or that starburst-inducing mergers are more efficient at boosting SFR than BHAR. Contrary to studies based on smaller samples, we find that the BHAR/SFR ratio of main-sequence (MS) galaxies is not mass invariant, but scales weakly as M<SUB>*</SUB><SUP>0.43+/- 0.09</SUP>, implying faster BH growth in more massive galaxies at z̃ 2. Furthermore, BHAR/SFR during the starburst is a factor of two lower than in MS galaxies, at odds with the predictions of hydrodynamical simulations of merger galaxies that foresee a sudden enhancement of L<SUB>X</SUB>/SFR during the merger. Finally, we estimate that the bulk of the accretion density of the universe at z̃ 2 is associated with normal star-forming systems, with only ̃ 6(+/- 1)% and ̃ 11(+/- 1)% associated with starburst and quiescent galaxies, respectively. | Acknowledgments: | G.R. acknowledges support from ASI (Herschel Science Contract 2011—I/005/011/0).
