Gas outflows in radio galaxies

چکیده
We present a summary of our recent results on gas outflows in radio galaxies. Fast outflows (up to 2000 km s−1) have been detected both in ionized and neutral gas. The latter is particularly surprising as it shows that, despite the extremely energetic phenomena occurring near an AGN, some of the outflowing gas remains, or becomes again, neutral. These results are giving new and important insights on the physical conditions of the gaseous medium around an AGN.

Fast Outflows of Neutral Hydrogen in Radio Galaxies
AGN activity is known to drive fast outflows of gas. We report the discovery of fast outflows of neutral gas with velocities over 1000 km/s in a number of radio galaxies. In the best studied object, 3C 293, the kinematical properties of the neutral and ionised outflows are similar, indicating a common origin. Moreover, the outflow appears to be located near the radio lobes and not near the nucl...
متن کاملFast neutral outflows in powerful radio galaxies : a major source of feedback in massive galaxies ⋆
We report the detection of fast (∼ 1000 km s −1), massive outflows of neutral gas observed – using the WSRT – as 21-cm H i absorption against the strong radio continuum of seven radio sources. The neutral outflows occur, in at least somes cases, at kpc distance from the nucleus, and they are most likely driven by the interactions between the expanding radio jets and the gaseous medium enshroudi...

Outflows up to 1500 km s −1 of atomic neutral hydrogen are detected in a growing number of radio galaxies. Outflows with similar velocities are also detected in ionized gas, suggesting a common origin for the extreme kinematics of these two phases of the gas. The high detection rate of such outflows in young (or restarted) radio sources appears to be related to the existence of a dense ISM arou...
متن کاملEvidence for powerful AGN winds at high redshift : Dynamics of galactic outflows in radio galaxies during the “ Quasar Era ” ⋆
AGN feedback now appears as an attractive mechanism to resolve some of the outstanding problems with the “standard” cosmological models, in particular those related to massive galaxies. At low redshift, evidence is growing that gas cooling and star formation may be efficiently suppressed by mechanical energy input from radio sources. To directly constrain how this may influence the formation of...
متن کاملEvidence of Jet-ambient Gas Interactions in the Emission-line Region of Seyfert Galaxies
Collimated outflows (ranging from barely collimated winds to actual jets) are present in a wide range of astrophysical objects, four types of them being represented at this conference, namely young stellar objects, planetary nebulae, radio galaxies and Seyfert galaxies. In this paper, I first try to give a brief overview of the basic properties of the outflows and their environments, as they ar...
