Symposium S6
27-28 June 2022
Properties and impact of large-scale multiphase AGN outflows
News: Concise programme available in this Google Sheets document. Aims and scope
Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN), where a fraction of the luminous energy output is injected into the host galaxy, driving multiphase outflows, is a necessary ingredient in galaxy evolution models, explaining the mass function, colours and star formation histories of galaxies. Until recently, numerical cosmological simulations would simply inject the AGN energy in an ad-hoc manner, tuning the feedback efficiency to reproduce the main properties of the observed galaxy population. Modern simulations (e.g. IllustrisTNG and Romulus), however, are reaching mass and spatial resolution where sub-galactic processes can be resolved, opening an opportunity to investigate AGN outflows in unprecedented detail. At the same time, new multi-wavelength sensitive observations (e.g. ALMA, MUSE and large-scale IFU surveys such as MaNGA, CALIFA, SAMI) are finding ubiquitous multiphase AGN outflows with diverse morphological, kinematic, and physical properties, which can impact the host galaxy well beyond the central kiloparsecs. Moreover, major progress in this area is expected in the coming years from forthcoming cutting-edge facilities (JWST, ELT, GMT, TMT).
Programme The programme of the symposium will be divided into three parts of roughly equal length:
