The Growth of Black Holes and Bulges at the Cores of Cooling Flows
D. A. Rafferty, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +1
Central cluster galaxies (cDs) in cooling flows are growing rapidly through gas accretion and star formation. At the same time, AGN outbursts fueled by accretion onto supermassive…
AGN Heating through Cavities and Shocks
P. E. J. Nulsen, C. Jones, W. R. Forman +5
Three comments are made on AGN heating of cooling flows. A simple physical argument is used to show that the enthalpy of a buoyant radio lobe is converted to heat in its wake. Thus…
The Starburst in the Abell 1835 Cluster Central Galaxy: A Case Study of Galaxy Formation Regulated by an Outburst from a Supermassive Black Hole
B. R. McNamara, D. A. Rafferty, L. Birzan +6
We present an optical, X-ray, and radio analysis of the starburst in the Abell 1835 cluster's central cD galaxy. The dense gas surrounding the galaxy is radiating X-rays with a lum…
