Magnetohydrodynamics simulations of active galactic nucleus disks and jets
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
We implement a black hole spin evolution and jet feedback model into SWIFT, a smoothed
particle hydrodynamics code. The jet power is determined self-consistently assuming that …

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