The M - σrelation in different environments
Kastytis Zubovas, Andrew R. King
Galaxies become red and dead when the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) becomes massive enough to drive an outflow beyond the virial radius of the halo. We show that this fina…
Quasar feedback: accelerated star formation and chaotic accretion
Sergei Nayakshin, Kastytis Zubovas
Growing Supermassive Black Holes (SMBH) are believed to influence their parent galaxies in a negative way, terminating their growth by ejecting gas out before it could turn into st…
Fermi Bubbles in the Milky Way: the closest AGN feedback laboratory courtesy of Sgr A*?
Kastytis Zubovas, Sergei Nayakshin
Deposition of a massive ( to $10^5 \msun$) giant molecular cloud (GMC) into the inner parsec of the Galaxy is widely believed to explain the origin of over a hundred unusuall…
AGN Winds and the Black-Hole - Galaxy Connection
Kastytis Zubovas, Andrew King
During the last decade, wide-angle powerful outflows from AGN, both on parsec and kpc scales, have been detected in many galaxies. These outflows are widely suspected to be respons…
What's in a Fermi Bubble: a quasar episode in the Galactic centre
Kastytis Zubovas, Sergei Nayakshin, Andrew King
Fermi bubbles, the recently observed giant (~10 kpc high) gamma-ray emitting lobes on either side of our Galaxy (Su et al. 2010), appear morphologically connected to the Galactic c…
Clearing Out a Galaxy
Kastytis Zubovas, Andrew R. King
It is widely suspected that AGN activity ultimately sweeps galaxies clear of their gas. We work out the observable properties required to achieve this. Large-scale AGN-driven outfl…
