Journal Article

We recently used hydrochemical simulations to demonstrate that molecular outflows observed in luminous quasars can be explained by molecule formation within the active galactic nucleus (AGN) wind. However, these simulations cover a limited parameter... Read More about Radiative cooling of swept-up gas in AGN-driven galactic winds and its implications for molecular outflows.

© 2017 The Author(s). In galaxy clusters, efficiently accreting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are preferentially located in the infall regions of the cluster projected phase-space, and are rarely found in the cluster core. This has been attributed to... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of galaxy group environment on active galactic nuclei.
