Powerful Outflows and Feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei
read the original abstract
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent the growth phases of the supermassive black holes in the center of almost every galaxy. Powerful, highly ionized winds, with velocities $\sim 0.1- 0.2c$ are a common feature in X--ray spectra of luminous AGN, offering a plausible physical origin for the well known connections between the hole and properties of its host. Observability constraints suggest that the winds must be episodic, and detectable only for a few percent of their lifetimes. The most powerful wind feedback, establishing the $M -\sigma$ relation, is probably not directly observable at all. The $M - \sigma$ relation signals a global change in the nature of AGN feedback. At black hole masses below $M-\sigma$ feedback is confined to the immediate vicinity of the hole. At the $M-\sigma$ mass it becomes much more energetic and widespread, and can drive away much of the bulge gas as a fast molecular outflow.

Is XRISM/Resolve probing a "raining" absorber in Mrk 509?
XRISM/Resolve data on Mrk 509 show a tentative 3.6-sigma infalling absorber at 11000 km/s located within thousands of gravitational radii, interpreted as raining clumps from a failed wind.

A Census of Na D-traced neutral ISM and outflows at $0.6<z<4$
A JWST census detects neutral ISM absorption in 76 of 309 galaxies at 0.6<z<4 and outflows in 26, indicating AGN-driven neutral outflows dominate in quiescent systems at cosmic noon.

Hydrodynamical simulation of wind production from hot accretion flows in tidal disruption events
Larger black holes in TDEs accrete more material and launch faster winds, with unbound mildly relativistic winds for higher viscosity parameters and bound convective outflows for lower ones.

A Comprehensive Study of Morphology and Kinematics in Extended Nebulae Around UV Luminous Quasars at $z\approx1$
Quasar nebulae at z~1 are diverse objects shaped by galaxy interactions, host gas, group environments, and quasar activity, with the largest irregular ones most tied to interactions.

First Results from the TNG50 Simulation: Galactic outflows driven by supernovae and black hole feedback
TNG50 shows galactic outflow mass loading is non-monotonic with stellar mass, rising rapidly above 10^10.5 Msun due to black hole feedback, and produces fast multi-phase outflows with emergent collimation.

Observational Properties of Nonthermal Emission from Relativistic Jets Escaping Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Jets escaping AGN disks decelerate rapidly in the dense wind-like medium, producing a downshifted spectrum with strong synchrotron self-absorption that creates a quasi-thermal hump, yielding detectable multi-wavelengt...

A Quasar--Companion System Without AGN Outflow at $z \sim 6$: The Case of PSO J083+11
New ALMA [C II] and FIR data on PSO J083+11 at z=6.34 reveal ordered rotation, typical star-forming ratios, and no outflow signatures in either galaxy, interpreted as a pre-AGN-feedback accretion phase.
