Observational evidence of active galactic nuclei feedback

AC Fabian - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Radiation, winds, and jets from the active nucleus of a massive galaxy can interact with its
interstellar medium, and this can lead to ejection or heating of the gas. This terminates star …

Coevolution (or not) of supermassive black holes and host galaxies

Unification of X-ray winds in Seyfert galaxies: from ultra-fast outflows to warm absorbers

F Tombesi, M Cappi, JN Reeves… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
The existence of ionized X-ray absorbing layers of gas along the line of sight to the nuclei of
Seyfert galaxies is a well established observational fact. This material is systematically …

Suzaku observations of 'bare' active galactic nuclei

DJ Walton, E Nardini, AC Fabian… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
We present an X-ray spectral analysis of a large sample of 25 'bare'active galactic nuclei
(AGN), sources with little or no complicating intrinsic absorption, observed with Suzaku. Our …

Black hole feedback in the luminous quasar PDS 456

E Nardini, JN Reeves, J Gofford, FA Harrison, G Risaliti… - Science, 2015 - science.org
The evolution of galaxies is connected to the growth of supermassive black holes in their
centers. During the quasar phase, a huge luminosity is released as matter falls onto the …

The many routes to AGN feedback

R Morganti - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017 - frontiersin.org
The energy released by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the form of radiation, winds, or radio
plasma jets, is known to impact on the surrounding interstellar medium. The result of these …
