AGN feedback and star formation in ETGs: negative and positive feedback

L. Ciotti, J. P. Ostriker, A. Negri +3

AGN feedback from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the center of early type galaxies is commonly invoked as the explanation for the quenching of star formation in these systems.…

Simulating multiple merger pathways to the central kinematics of early-type galaxies

Christopher E. Moody, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Thomas J. Cox +2

Two-dimensional integral field surveys such as ATLAS^3D are producing rich observational data sets yielding insights into galaxy formation. These new kinematic observations have hi…

AGN feedback in an isolated elliptical galaxy: the effect of strong radiative feedback in the kinetic mode

Zhaoming Gan, Feng Yuan, Jeremiah P. Ostriker +2

Based on two-dimensional high resolution hydrodynamic numerical simulation, we study the mechanical and radiative feedback effects from the central AGN on the cosmological evolutio…

Heating of the molecular gas in the massive outflow of the local ultraluminous-infrared and radio-loud galaxy 4C12.50

K. M. Dasyra, F. Combes, G. S. Novak +5

We present a comparison of the molecular gas properties in the outflow vs. in the ambient medium of the local prototype radio-loud and ultraluminous-infrared galaxy 4C12.50 (IRAS13…

On Galaxies and Homology

Gregory S. Novak, Patrik Jonsson, Joel R. Primack +2

The definition of homology for single-component galaxies is clear, but for multi-component (luminous and dark matter) galaxies there is some ambiguity. We attempt to clarify the si…

Radiative Transfer and Radiative driving of Outflows in AGN and Starbursts

G. S. Novak, J. P. Ostriker, L. Ciotti

To facilitate the study of black hole fueling, star formation, and feedback in galaxies, we outline a method for treating the radial forces on interstellar gas due to absorption of…
