AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملFeedback in AGN heating of galaxy clusters
One of the challenges that models of AGN heating of the intracluster medium (ICM) face, is the question how the mechanical luminosity of the AGN is tuned to the radiative losses of the ICM. Here we implement a simple 1D model of a feedback mechanism that links the luminosity of the AGN to the accretion rate. We demonstrate how this simple feedback mechanism leads to a quasi-steady state for a b...
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 کاملEvery Bcg with a Strong Radio Agn Has an X-ray Cool Core: Is the Cool Core — Noncool Core Dichotomy Too Simple?
Radio AGN feedback in X-ray cool cores has been proposed as a crucial ingredient in the evolution of baryonic structures. However, it has long been known that strong radio AGN also exist in “noncool core” clusters, which brings up the question whether an X-ray cool core is always required for radio feedback. In this work, we present a systematic analysis of BCGs and strong radio AGN in 152 grou...
متن کاملObservable consequences of kinetic and thermal AGN feedback in elliptical galaxies and galaxy clusters
We have constructed an analytical model of AGN feedback and studied its implications for elliptical galaxies and galaxy clusters. The results show that momentum injection above a critical value will eject material from low mass elliptical galaxies, and leads to an X-ray luminosity, LX, that is ∝ σ , depending on the AGN fuelling mechanism, where σ is the velocity dispersion of the hot gas. This...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies to Redshift 1.3
We have measured the luminous AGN population in a large sample of clusters of galaxies and find evidence for a substantial increase in the cluster AGN population from z ∼ 0.05 to z ∼ 1.3. The present sample now includes 32 clusters of galaxies, including 15 clusters above z = 0.4, which corresponds to a three-fold increase compared to our previous work at high redshift. At z < 0.4 we have obtai...
