Aims. Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of low-mass dwarf galaxies, an issue that has received little attention from a theoretical…

Cool cores of galaxy clusters are thought to be heated by low-power active galactic nuclei (AGN), whose accretion is regulated by feedback. However, the interaction between the hot gas ejected by the AGN and the ambient intracluster medium…

It is well known that active galactic nuclei (AGN) show various forms of interaction with their host galaxy, in a number of phenomena generally called AGN feedback. In particular, the relativistic plasma jets launched by a fraction of AGN…

We investigate the observable effects of feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on non-thermal components of the intracluster medium (ICM). We have modelled feedback from AGN in cosmological simulations with the adaptive mesh refinement…

That active galactic nuclei (AGN) with jets can alternately enhance as well as suppress star formation rates, explains the location and slope of radio loud AGN on the star formation rate-stellar mass plane. Here, we explore 860 type 1 and 2…

We perform high resolution N-body+SPH simulations of isolated Milky-Way-like galaxies and major mergers between them, to investigate the effect of feedback from both an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and supernovae on the galaxy's evolution.…

Among the many processes involved in galaxy evolution, those of bar formation, quenching, and feedback from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) seem to be connected, however, the nature of these relations remains unclear. In this work, we aim…

Galaxy mergers are traditionally one of the favoured mechanisms for quenching star formation. To test this paradigm in the context of modern cosmological simulations, we use the IllustrisTNG simulation to investigate the impact of…

We conducted 3D-MHD simulations to investigate the feedback processes in the central 1kpc scale of galaxies hosting both active star formation (SF) and an AGN wind. Our simulations naturally generated a turbulent and clumpy interstellar…

We investigate the correlation between ionized gas outflows, jets, and star formation in a sample of 42 local type-I active galactic nuclei (AGNs) exhibiting significant [O III] outflows. This study uses both new submillimeter (sub-mm)…

Observations indicate that early-type galaxies exhibit varying slopes in the relation between their central stellar surface density and stellar mass ($\Sigma_1 - M_{\star}$). Low-mass galaxies tend to follow a steep slope, close to one,…

We exploit a sample of 80,000 SDSS central galaxies to investigate the effect of AGN feedback on their evolution. We trace the demographics of optically-selected AGN (Seyferts) as a function of their internal properties and environment. We…

Without AGN feedback, simulated massive, star-forming galaxies become too compact relative to observed galaxies at z<2. In this paper, we perform high-resolution re-simulations of a massive (M_star~10^11 M_sol) galaxy at z~2.3, drawn from…

We study the formation and evolution of elliptical galaxies and how they suppress star formation and maintain it quenched. A one-zone chemical model which follows in detail the time evolution of gas mass and its chemical abundances during…
