Self-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 کاملHeating Hot Atmospheres with Active Galactic Nuclei
High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year. X-ray images have revealed giant cavities and shock fronts in the hot gas that provide a direct and relatively reliable means of measuring the energy injected into hot atmospheres by active galact...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection: flares and coronal heating in Active Galactic Nuclei
A magnetically–structured accretion disk corona, generated by buoyancy instability in the disk, can account for observations of flare–like events in Active Galactic Nuclei. We examine how Petschek magnetic reconnection, associated with MHD turbulence, can result in a violent release of energy and heat the magnetically closed regions of the corona up to canonical X-ray emitting temperatures. X-r...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies
We present a study of the distribution of AGN in clusters of galaxies with a uniformly selected, spectroscopically complete sample of 35 AGN in eight clusters of galaxies at z = 0.06 → 0.31. We find that the 12 AGN with LX > 1042 erg s−1 in cluster members more luminous than a rest-frame MR < −20 mag are more centrally concentrated than typical cluster galaxies of this luminosity, although thes...
متن کاملThe Host Galaxies and Classification of Active Galactic Nuclei
We present an analysis of the host properties of 85224 emission-line galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We show that Seyferts and LINERs form clearly separated branches on the standard optical diagnostic diagrams. We derive a new empirical classification scheme which cleanly separates star-forming galaxies, composite AGN-H ii galaxies, Seyferts and LINERs and we study the host...
