The effect of mass and star-formation timescale on galaxy evolution / Suppressing cluster cooling flows by multiple AGN activity / Starburst and AGN activity in Spitzer-selected sources at high-z / Star formation in galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei up to z~1 / The symbiosis between galaxies and SMBHs / On the origin of halo assembly bias / AGN, downsizing and galaxy bimodality / Young radio sources: evolution and broad-band emission / The duty cycle of radio galaxies and AGN feedback / Environment or outflows?: new insight into the origin of narrow associated QSO absorbers / Physical models of AGN feedback / Large-scale expansion of AGN outflows in a cosmological volume / Relativistic jets and the inhomogeneous interstellar medium / AGN feedback effect on intracluster medium properties from galaxy clusters hydrodynamical simulations / Physics and fate of jet-related emission line regions / Cusp-core dichotomy of ellitpical galaxies: the role of thermal evaporation / C.D. Harrison and M. Colless -- A. Nusser -- M. Polletta [and others] -- J.D. Silverman, zCOSMOS and XMM-COSMOS -- G.L. Granato [and others] -- A. Keselman -- M.J. Stringer [and others] -- Interaction and gas outflows in radio-loud AGN: disruptive and constructive effects of radio jets / R. Morganti -- L. Ostorero [and others] -- S. Shabala -- V. Wild -- V. Antonuccio-Delogu [and others] -- P. Barai -- G.V. Bicknell, J.L. Cooper and R.S. Sutherland -- D. Fabjan [and others] -- M.G.H. Krause and V. Gaibler -- C. Nipoti.
During the past decade, convincing evidence has been accumulated concerning the effect of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity on the internal and external environment of their host galaxies. Featuring contributions from well-respected researchers in the field, and bringing together work by specialists in both galaxy formation and AGN, this volume addresses a number of key questions about AGN feedback in the context of galaxy formation. The topics covered include downsizing and star-formation time scales in massive elliptical galaxies, the connection between the epochs of supermassive black hole growth and galaxy formation and the question of whether AGN and star formation coexist. Authors also discuss key challenging computational problems, including jet-interstellar/intergalactic medium interactions, and both jet- and merging-induced star formation. Suitable for researchers and graduate students in astrophysics, this volume reflects the engaging and lively discussions taking place in this emerging field of research.
