Is AGN feedback necessary to form red elliptical galaxies ?
We have used the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code GADGET-2 to simulate the formation of an elliptical galaxy in a group-size cosmological dark matter halo with mass Mhalo ≃ 3× 10 12 h −1 M⊙ at z = 0. The use of a stellar population synthesis model has allowed us to compute magnitudes, colours and surface brightness profiles. We have included a model to follow the growth of a central b...
متن کاملMechanical AGN feedback: controlling the thermodynamicalevolution of elliptical galaxies
A fundamental gap in the current understanding of galaxies concerns the thermodynamical evolution of ordinary, baryonic matter. On the one hand, radiative emission drastically decreases the thermal energy content of the interstellar plasma (ISM), inducing a slow cooling flow towards the centre. On the other hand, the active galactic nucleus (AGN) struggles to prevent the runaway cooling catastr...
متن کاملSelf-Regulated AGN Heating in Elliptical Galaxies
We study the effect of active galactic nuclei (AGN) heating on the chemodynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies and their X-ray and optical properties using highresolution Λ-dominated cold dark matter cosmological simulations. Our model considers an AGN as being “active” when a convergent gas inflow condition exists within a galaxy’s nucleus; otherwise, the AGN is assumed to remain dormant. ...
متن کاملSynchrotron Emission from Elliptical Galaxies Consequent to Agn Outbursts
Both radiative and mechanical feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei have been found to be important for the evolution of elliptical galaxies. We compute how a shock may be driven from a central black hole into the gaseous envelope of an elliptical galaxy by mechanical as well as radiative feedback (in the form of nuclear winds) using high resolution 1-D hydrodynamical simulations. We calculate t...
متن کاملThermal Balance in the Intracluster Medium: Is Agn Feedback Necessary?
A variety of physical heating mechanisms are combined with radiative cooling to explore, via one dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, the expected thermal properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the context of the cooling flow problem. Energy injection from type Ia supernovae, thermal conduction, and dynamical friction (DF) from orbiting satellite galaxies are considered as potential he...
