Active Galactic Nuclei and Massive Galaxy Cores
Self-consistent N-body simulations have been performed in order to study the effects of a central active galactic nucleus (AGN) on the dark matter profile of a typical giant elliptical galaxy. In our analysis, we assume that periodic bipolar outbursts from a central AGN can induce harmonic oscillatory motions on both sides of the gas core. Using realistic AGN properties, we find that the motion...
متن کاملStarburst–driven galactic outflows
We propose a model of starburst–driven galactic outflows whose dynamics depends on both radiation and thermal pressure. Standard models of thermal pressure–driven winds fail to explain some key observations of outflows at low and high redshift galaxies. We discuss a scenario in which radiation pressure from massive stars in a stellar population drive a shell of gas and dust. Subsequent supernov...
متن کاملWien Fireball Model of Relativistic Outflows in Active Galactic Nuclei
We study steady and spherically symmetric outflows of pure electron-positron pair plasma as a possible acceleration mechanism of relativistic jets up to a bulk Lorentz factor of greater than 10. We assume that at the inner boundary a “Wien fireball” is realized, which is optically thick to Compton scattering but thin to absorption and in a Wien equilibrium state between pairs and photons at a r...
متن کاملConvection in galaxy cluster plasmas driven by active galactic nuclei and cosmic ray buoyancy
Turbulent heating may play an important role in galaxy-cluster plasmas, but if turbulent heating is to balance radiative cooling in a quasi-steady state, some mechanism must regulate the turbulent velocity so that it is neither too large nor too small. This paper explores one possible regulating mechanism associated with an active galactic nucleus at cluster center. A steady-state model for the...
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei in the CNOC2 Field Galaxy Redshift Survey
We present a sample of 47 confirmed and 14 candidate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) discovered in the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology field galaxy redshift survey (CNOC2). The sample consists of 38 objects identified from broad emission lines, 8 from narrow [Nev] emission, and 15 candidates from Fe ii or Mg ii absorption lines, one of which has been confirmed as a broad-line AGN via ...
