Journal ArticleDOI

A Systematic Study of Radio-induced X-Ray Cavities in Clusters, Groups, and Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of 16 galaxy clusters, one group, and one galaxy drawn from the Chandra Data Archive is presented, where the authors evaluate the hypothesis that cooling in hot gas can be quenched by energy injected into the surrounding gas by the rising bubbles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The feedback-regulated growth of black holes and bulges through gas accretion and starbursts in cluster central dominant galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between cooling and star formation and found that the star formation rates are approaching or are comparable to X-ray and far-UV limits on the rates of gas condensation onto the central galaxy.

The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission

Kirpal Nandra, +239 more
TL;DR: The Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics (Athena+) mission as discussed by the authors provides the necessary performance (e.g., angular resolution, spectral resolution, survey grasp) to address these questions and revolutionize our understanding of the Hot and Energetic Universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Regulation of Cooling and Star Formation in Luminous Galaxies by Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback and the Cooling-Time/Entropy Threshold for the Onset of Star Formation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the connection between star formation, the intracluster medium (ICM), and the central active galactic nucleus (AGN) in 46 cluster central dominant galaxies (CDGs).
