چکیده

We briefly describe some recent observational results, mainly at X-ray wavelengths, on the winds of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These winds likely play a significant role in galaxy feedback. Topics covered include (1) Relations between X-ray and UV absorption in Broad Absorption Line (BAL) and mini-BAL quasars; (2) X-ray absorption in radio-loud BAL quasars; and (3) Evidence for relativistic iron K BALs in the X-ray spectra of a few bright quasars. We also mention some key outstanding problems and prospects for future advances; e.g., with the International X-ray Observatory (IXO).

A stellar feedback origin for neutral hydrogen in high-redshift quasar-mass haloes

Observations reveal that quasar host haloes at z ∼ 2 have large covering fractions of cool dense gas ( 60 per cent for Lyman limit systems within a projected virial radius). Most simulations have so far failed to explain these large observed covering fractions. We analyse a new set of 15 simulated massive haloes with explicit stellar feedback from the FIRE project, covering the halo mass range ...

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups

It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...

Ubiquitous Outflows in Deep2 Spectra of Star-forming Galaxies at Z=1.4

Galactic winds are a prime suspect for the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium and may have a strong influence on the chemical evolution of galaxies and the nature of QSO absorption line systems. We use a sample of 1406 galaxy spectra at z ∼ 1.4 from the DEEP2 redshift survey to show that blueshifted Mg ii λλ 2796, 2803 Å absorption is ubiquitous in starforming galaxies at this epoch. ...

X-Ray Emission from Early-Type Galaxies: A Complete Sample Observed by ROSAT

To test the cooling flow model of early-type galaxies, we obtained a complete magnitude-limited sample of 34 early-type galaxies, observed with the PSPC and HRI on ROSAT. The X-ray to optical distribution of galaxies implies a lower envelope that is consistent with the stellar emission inferred from Cen A. When this stellar component is removed, the gaseous emission is related to the optical lu...
