TalkActive galactic nuclei synapses: X-ray versus optical classifications using artificial neural networks
The active galactic nuclei is conformed by a number of classes. Optically they are defined using diagnostics based on optical emission lines. At X-rays they are...

TalkAGN activity in Local Luminous Infrared Galaxies
Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIR=10^11-10^12Lsun) have star formation rates in the range of ~20-200Msun/yr. In the local Universe ~50% LIRGs show AGN or AGN/SB...

TalkAGN feedback from Mpc to pc scale: radio-mode, quasar-mode and backflows
Mechanical feedback by jets from Active Galactic Nucei (AGN) is a key process in galaxies and galaxy clusters: the energy input from the jets (in literature...

TalkAGN Feedback in the Cores of Clusters of Galaxies
Over the past decade there has been a growing body of evidence for a closely regulated balance of heating and cooling of the intracluster medium in the cores of...

TalkAGN winds, feedback and the baryon cycle in the galaxy ecosystem
Why did galaxies stop forming stars? Why do black holes in galactic nuclei have masses proportional to bulge masses? What are the physical mechanisms leading...
