7.4. Conclusion
Interactions are an essential mechanism in the fueling of QSOs, high-power radio-galaxies and ULIRgs. But they are not dominant in Seyferts and low- power radio-galaxies.
Observations reveal a close complicity between starbursts and AGN.
AGN may be fueled by mass loss during PMS
stellar evolution, of a coeval stellar cluster of 4
109 M,
within 10pc
(Norman &
Scoville 1988).
Within 108yr, mass loss accumulates 1.5 109
M
.
Radiation (UV, X) from the inner accretion disk
ionizes stellar envelopes, and form the BLR
(V ~ 3000 km/s in the black hole potential well).
The young stellar cluster requires a huge
starburst, like those due to mergers.
Shocks are then inevitable, model-independent
supernovae can help transfering angular momentum.
Starbusrts and AGN are symbiotic systems

Perry 1992,

1999).
