We present a series of three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of central AGN driven jets in a dynamic, cosmologically evolved galaxy cluster. Extending previous work, we study jet powers ranging from L_jet = 10^44 erg/s to L_jet = 10^46 erg/s and in duration from 30 Myr to 200 Myr. We find that large-scale motions of cluster gas disrupt the AGN jets, causing energy to be distributed throughout the centre of the cluster, rather than confined to a narrow angle around the jet axis. Disruption of the jet also leads to the appearance of multiple disconnected X-ray bubbles from a long-duration AGN with a constant luminosity. This implies that observations of multiple bubbles in a cluster are not necessarily an expression of the AGN duty cycle. We find that the "sphere of influence" of the AGN, the radial scale within which the cluster is strongly affected by the jet, scales as R ~ L_jet^(1/3). Increasing the duration of AGN activity does not increase the radius affected by the AGN significantly, but does change the magnitude of the AGN's effects. How an AGN delivers energy to a cluster will determine where that energy is deposited: a high luminosity is needed to heat material outside the core of the cluster, while a low-luminosity, long-duration AGN is more efficient at heating the inner few tens of kpc.

A Chandra Study of the Radio Galaxy NGC 326: Wings, Outburst History, and AGN Feedback
NGC 326是最突出的X或Z形射电星系（XRG/ZRG）之一，并一直是几项研究的主题，试图通过流体运动或喷流轴的重新定向来解释其形态。我们研究了一个100 ks的档案钱德拉曝光，并发现与射电星系相关的几个功能：高温前，可能表明一个冲击，高温结周围的无线电发射的边缘，和一个腔与东翼的射电星系。根据射电数据对这些特征的合理解释使我们能够重建活动星系核爆发的历史。这次活跃的爆发很可能曾经是一个强大的射电源，但后来已经衰减，间接证据表明，重新定向是产生翅膀的手段。由于射电星系与ICM之间存在明显的相互作用，并且主动叶和翼之间存在很大的间隔，我们得出结论，XRG是通过测量与主动和被动加热机制相关的加热率来研究星系群中AGN反馈的极好来源。

Radio AGN in nearby dwarf galaxies: the important role of AGN in dwarf-galaxy evolution
本文结合超超极凸轮和低频阵列（LOFAR）的深空光学和射电观测资料，对附近（z<0.5）矮星系的78个射电活动星系核进行了研究。与控制样本相比，匹配的恒星质量和红移，表明活动星系核和控制居住在类似的环境中，显示出类似的恒星形成率（跟踪气体的可用性），并表现出可比的潮汐特征的发生率（这表明最近的相互作用）。我们探索活动星系核的性质相结合的预测气体条件的矮星从宇宙流体动力学模拟与蒙特卡洛套件的模拟射电源，基于半解析模型的射电星系演化。在LOFAR可探测的模拟源子集中，其射电光度分布与我们观测到的活动星系核相似，喷流功率、年龄和吸积率的中值分别为$\sim 10^{35}$ W、$\sim 5$ Myr和$\sim 10^{-3.4}$ M $_{\odot}$ yr $^{-1}$。这些源的机械能输出中值比矮气藏中预期的结合能中值大$\sim100$倍，这使得活动星系核反馈似乎是合理的。由于活动星系核的存在并不需要特殊的环境条件（如环境、气体可用性和相互作用），而且中心气体质量被预测为比活动星系核所需的燃料大一个数量级，因此活动星系核在矮星系中的触发可能是随机的，是一种普遍现象。再加上能量反馈的不确定性，这表明活动星系核可能是矮星系演化的重要驱动力，就像大质量星系一样。
