Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability induced flow, turbulence, and mixing. II
Y Zhou - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

Active galactic nuclei flicker: an observational estimate of the duration of black hole growth phases of ∼105 yr
We present an observational constraint for the typical active galactic nucleus (AGN) phase
lifetime. The argument is based on the time lag between an AGN central engine switching …

Impact of supermassive black hole growth on star formation
CM Harrison - Nature Astronomy, 2017 - nature.com
Supermassive black holes are found at the centres of massive galaxies. During the growth of
these black holes they light up to become visible as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and …

Cosmological simulations predict that AGN preferentially live in gas-rich, star-forming galaxies despite effective feedback
Negative feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the leading mechanism for the
quenching of massive galaxies in the vast majority of modern galaxy evolution models …

Hot accretion flows around black holes
Black hole accretion flows can be divided into two broad classes: cold and hot. Whereas
cold accretion flows consist of cool optically thick gas and are found at relatively high mass …

Black hole variability and the star formation–active galactic nucleus connection: do all star-forming galaxies host an active galactic nucleus?
We investigate the effect of active galactic nucleus (AGN) variability on the observed
connection between star formation and black hole accretion in extragalactic surveys. Recent …
