AGN feedback Kinetic mode (radio mode) Push gas out Radiative mode (quasar/wind mode) heating
AGN feedback Kinetic mode (radio mode) Push gas out Radiative mode (quasar/wind mode) heating https://gandc.oca.eu/IMG/pdf/Rocca_Starburst_AGN.pdf
Star Formation molecular clouds Gas pressure unable to support gravitational collapse
Jeans Mass http://burro.cwru.edu/Academics/Astr221/LifeCycle/jeans.html
So … AGN feedback suppress star formation? Photo excitation/photoionization Compton heating T Blown away by radiation pressure and ram pressure of mass outflow Thus limiting Star formation …
Another possibility … AGN feedback trigger star formation !
Mechanism • radiationpressure on dust • a shellof dustygas swept outwards • feedback driven shell
Dark matter density profile DM mass enclosed Mass of gas Radius of the shell Velocity of the shell
Critical Luminosity considering the equilibrium between outward radiation pressure and inward gravitational forces
