Feedback in Active Galactic Nucleus Heating of Galaxy Clusters
One of the challenges that models of active galactic nucleus (AGN) heating of the intracluster medium (ICM) face is to explain how the mechanical luminosity of the AGN is tuned to the radiative losses of the ICM. Here we implement a simple one-dimensional model of a feedback mechanism that links the luminosity of the AGN to the accretion rate. We demonstrate how this simple feedback mechanism l...
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei and Massive Galaxy Cores
Self-consistent N-body simulations have been performed in order to study the effects of a central active galactic nucleus (AGN) on the dark matter profile of a typical giant elliptical galaxy. In our analysis, we assume that periodic bipolar outbursts from a central AGN can induce harmonic oscillatory motions on both sides of the gas core. Using realistic AGN properties, we find that the motion...
متن کاملInternal Kinematics of the Andromeda Ii Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
The High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer on the Keck I telescope has been used to measure nine radial velocities having a median precision of ' 2 km s−1 for seven red giants belonging to the isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy Andromeda II (And II). We find a weighted mean radial velocity of vr = –188±3 km s−1 and a central velocity dispersion of σ0 = 9.3 −2.6 km s −1. There may be evidence for a ...
متن کاملThe Innuence of Binary Stars on Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Kinematics
We have completed a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the eeect of binary star orbits on the measured velocity dispersion in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. This paper analyses previous attempts at this calculation, and explains the simulations which were performed with mass, period and ellip-ticity distributions similar to that measured for the solar neighbourhood. The conclusion is that with func...
متن کاملKinematics of the dwarf irregular galaxy GR 8
We present deep, high velocity resolution (∼ 1.6 km s) Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope HI 21cm synthesis images for the faint (MB ∼ −12.1) dwarf irregular galaxy GR8. We find that the velocity field of the galaxy shows a clear systematic large scale pattern, with a maximum amplitude ∼ 10 km s. Neither pure rotation, nor pure radial motion alone can fit the observed velocity field; however a com...
