Effects of Varied Cosmic Ray Feedback from AGN on Massive Galaxy Properties

Charvi Goyal, Sam B. Ponnada, Philip F. Hopkins +3

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) provide energetic feedback necessary to `turn off' star formation in high-mass galaxies (M 10 M, $10.4 \leq \log(…

Bridging scales: Modeling suppressed Bondi accretion on black holes and its impact on galaxy growth

Antonio J. Porras-Valverde, Priyamvada Natarajan, Angelo Ricarte +4

The accretion and feedback processes governing supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth span an enormous range of spatial scales, from the Event Horizon to the circumgalactic medium.…

Bridging scales: How much do supermassive black holes grow in the suppressed Bondi regime?

Kung-Yi Su, Angelo Ricarte, Priyamvada Natarajan +6

The co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies remains one of the central open questions in cosmology, rooted in the coupling between accretion, feedb…

To Survive or to Shatter: The Impact of Cosmic Rays on the Fate of Stripped Cold Clouds

Manami Roy, Kung-Yi Su, Stephanie Tonnesen +3

Does cosmic ray (CR) pressure matter for the circumgalactic medium (CGM)? Despite growing interest, this remains a debated question, complicated by limited observational constraint…

Bridging Scales in Black Hole Accretion and Feedback: Relativistic Jet linking the Horizon to the Host Galaxy

Hyerin Cho, Ben S. Prather, Ramesh Narayan +2

Simulating black hole (BH) accretion and feedback from the horizon to galactic scales is extremely challenging, as it involves a vast range of scales. Recently, our multizone metho…

Modeling Cosmic Rays at AGN Jet-Driven Shock Fronts

Kung-Yi Su, Greg L. Bryan, Philip F. Hopkins +4

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback is a key physical mechanism proposed to regulate star formation, primarily in massive galaxies. In particular, cosmic rays associated with AGN…
