Numerical study of active galactic nuclei feedback in an elliptical galaxy

报告摘要

There are many observational evidences for the co-evolution between the supermassive black hole and its host galaxy. It is widely thought that the underlying physical mechanism is the interaction between the central active galactic nuclei and the galaxy, i.e., AGN feedback. This is a rapidly developping field and most details of how it works remain unsolved. In this talk, I will first introduce some background of AGN feedback, then I will focus on our recent series of

works on AGN feedback which are based on high-resolution hydrodynamical numerical simulation. Compared to many simulation works in this field, our simulation can well resovle the Bondi radius thus can precisely calculate the accretion rate. More importantly, we adopt state-of-art AGN physics, including the proper discrimination of

cold and hot accretion modes and the exact descriptions of the AGN radiation and wind in each mode. Physical processes such as star formation and SNe feedback are taken into account. I will discuss the effects of AGN feedback on the AGN light curve, growth of the black hole mass, AGN duty cycle, star formation, and X-ray surface brightness of the galaxy.
