Fuelling controversy
The US President’s annual State of the Union speech is a favorite place to unveil new initiatives. For the past several months there has been a buzz that President George W. Bush would say something dramatic about climate change. “Buzz” in Washington can mean political trial balloons, genuine leaks or simply wishful thinking. It took a while to sort out the truth in this case. The week before t...
متن کاملFuelling discovery by sharing.
Gene-sequencing, mass-spectrometry and drug-screening technologies, aided by the increasingly faster and cheaper computational power available, have greatly accelerated the discovery of drugs and the development of better diagnoses and therapies. Indeed, genomics and proteomics are arguably the most recent and highimpact successful stories made possible by synergetic collaborations between acad...
متن کاملFuelling Active Galactic Nuclei
We suggest that most nearby active galactic nuclei are fed by a series of small– scale, randomly–oriented accretion events. Outside a certain radius these events promote rapid star formation, while within it they fuel the supermassive black hole. We show that the events have a characteristic time evolution. This picture agrees with several observational facts. The expected luminosity function i...
متن کاملFuelling Starbursts and Agn
There is considerable evidence that the circumnuclear regions of galaxies are intimately related to their host galaxies, most directly through their bars. There is also convincing evidence for relations between the properties of supermassive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies and those of their host galaxy. It is much less clear, however, how stellar (starburst) and non-stellar (AGN) activit...
متن کاملFuelling quasars with hot gas
We consider a model for quasar formation in which massive black holes are formed and fuelled largely by the accretion of hot gas during the process of galaxy formation. In standard hierarchical collapse models, objects about the size of normal galaxies and larger form a dense hot atmosphere when they collapse. We show that if such an atmosphere forms a nearly ‘maximal’ cooling flow, then a cent...
