Heating hot atmospheres with active galactic nuclei
BR McNamara, PEJ Nulsen - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas
is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of solar …

X-ray spectroscopy of cooling clusters
JR Peterson, AC Fabian - Physics reports, 2006 - Elsevier
We review the X-ray spectra of the cores of clusters of galaxies. Recent high resolution X-ray
spectroscopic observations have demonstrated a severe deficit of emission at the lowest X …

Hot atmospheres, cold gas, AGN feedback and the evolution of early type galaxies: a topical perspective
Most galaxies comparable to or larger than the mass of the Milky Way host hot, X-ray
emitting atmospheres, and many such galaxies are radio sources. Hot atmospheres and …

Heating cooling flows with jets
H Omma, J Binney, G Bryan… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2004 - academic.oup.com
Active galactic nuclei are clearly heating gas in 'cooling flows'. The effectiveness and spatial
distribution of the heating are controversial. We use three-dimensional simulations on …
