Radio galaxies and feedback from AGN jets

MJ Hardcastle, JH Croston - New Astronomy Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
We review current understanding of the population of radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars
from an observational perspective, focusing on their large-scale structures and dynamics …

Magnetohydrodynamics simulations of active galactic nucleus disks and jets

SW Davis, A Tchekhovskoy - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
There is a broad consensus that accretion onto supermassive black holes and consequent
jet formation power the observed emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However …

Spin-driven jet feedback in idealized simulations of galaxy groups and clusters

F Huško, CG Lacey, J Schaye… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com

Simulating the dynamics and non-thermal emission of relativistic magnetized jets I. Dynamics

D Mukherjee, G Bodo, A Mignone… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We have performed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of relativistic jets from
supermassive blackholes over a few tens of kpc for a range of jet parameters. One of the …

THC: a new high-order finite-difference high-resolution shock-capturing code for special-relativistic hydrodynamics

D Radice, L Rezzolla - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 - aanda.org
We present THC: a new high-order flux-vector-splitting code for Newtonian and special-
relativistic hydrodynamics designed for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows. Our …

Recent Progress in Modeling the Macro-and Micro-Physics of Radio Jet Feedback in Galaxy Clusters

MA Bourne, HYK Yang - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
Radio jets and the lobes they inflate are common in cool-core clusters and are known to play
a critical role in regulating the heating and cooling of the intracluster medium (ICM). This is …

Simulations of the dynamics of magnetized jets and cosmic rays in galaxy clusters

K Ehlert, R Weinberger, C Pfrommer… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Feedback processes by active galactic nuclei in the centres of galaxy clusters appear to
prevent large-scale cooling flows and impede star formation. However, the detailed heating …

How frequent are close supermassive binary black holes in powerful jet sources?

MGH Krause, SS Shabala… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Supermassive black hole binaries may be detectable by an upcoming suite of gravitational
wave experiments. Their binary nature can also be revealed by radio jets via a short-period …

Simulations of AGN jets: Magnetic kink instability versus conical shocks

R Barniol Duran, A Tchekhovskoy… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) convert as much as half of their energy into
radiation. To explore the poorly understood processes that are responsible for this …
