Active galactic nucleus feedback in clusters of galaxies.
Observations made during the last ten years with the Chandra X-ray Observatory have shed much light on the cooling gas in the centers of clusters of galaxies and the role of active galactic nucleus (AGN) heating. Cooling of the hot intracluster medium in cluster centers can feed the supermassive black holes found in the nuclei of the dominant cluster galaxies leading to AGN outbursts which can ...
متن کاملFeedback 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 کاملRadio emission and active galactic nucleus feedback in post-starburst galaxies
We investigate radio-mode AGN activity among post-starburst galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to determine whether AGN feedback may be responsible for the cessation of star formation. Based on radio morphology and radio loudness from the FIRST and NVSS data, we separate objects with radio activity due to an AGN from ongoing residual star formation. Of 513 SDSS galaxies with stro...
متن کاملNGC 4151 – A unified active galactic nucleus
We present a unified picture of active galactic nuclei which we construct from a detailed model of line emission in the active source in NGC 4151. This source provides us with an opportunity to explore the variation of structure with luminosity in an object which, in the model, derives its unusual properties as a consequence of the angle of the accretion disc to the line of sight. The key featu...
متن کاملCosmological simulations of galaxy clusters with feedback from active galactic nuclei: profiles and scaling relations
We present results from a new set of 30 cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters, including the effects of radiative cooling, star formation, supernova feedback, black hole growth and AGN feedback. We first demonstrate that our AGN model is capable of reproducing the observed cluster pressure profile at redshift, z ≃ 0, once the AGN heating temperature of the targeted particles is made to sc...
