Both absorption and emission line studies show that cold gas around galaxies is commonly outflowing at speeds of several hundred km$\,\textrm{s}^{-1}$. This observational fact poses a severe challenge to our theoretical models of galaxy…

We study non-thermal emissions from cool cores in galaxy clusters. We adopted a recent model, in which cosmic-rays (CRs) prevail in the cores and stably heat them through CR streaming. The non-thermal emissions come from the interaction…

Self-regulating AGN feedback in the cool cores of galaxy clusters plays central role in solving the decades-old cooling flow problem, but one major problem remains unsolved - how is the AGN energy thermalized in the ICM and what are the…

Multi-phase filamentary structures around Brightest Cluster Galaxies are likely a key step of AGN-feedback. We observed molecular gas in 3 cool cluster cores: Centaurus, Abell S1101, and RXJ1539.5 and gathered ALMA and MUSE data for 12…

We present new NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) observations of the CO(2--1) emission in eight of the brightest Palomar-Green quasars at $z \lesssim 0.5$ to investigate the role of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback in luminous…

Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is believed to prevent catastrophic cooling in galaxy clusters. However, how the feedback energy is transformed into heat, and how the AGN jets heat the intracluster medium (ICM) isotropically,…

In order to better understand how active galactic nuclei (AGN) effect the interstellar media of their host galaxies, we perform a meta-analysis of the CO emission for a sample of $z=0.01-4$ galaxies from the literature with existing CO…

As more cooling flow clusters of galaxies with central radio sources are observed with the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray Observatories, more examples of "bubbles" (low-emission regions in the X-ray coincident with radio emission) are being…

The energy released by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the form of radiation, winds, or radio plasma jets, is known to impact on the surrounding interstellar medium. The result of these processes, known as AGN (negative) feedback, is…

Galaxy groups are not scaled down versions of massive galaxy clusters - the hot gas in groups (known as the intragroup medium, IGrM for short) is, on average, less dense than the intracluster medium, implying that one or more…

The physics of the coolest phases in the hot Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) of clusters of galaxies is yet to be fully unveiled. X-ray cavities blown by the central Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) contain enough energy to heat the surrounding gas…
