We present the results of three dimensional relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of interaction of AGN jets with a dense turbulent two-phase interstellar medium, which would be typical of high redshift galaxies. We describe the effect of the jet on the evolution of the density of the turbulent ISM. The jet driven energy bubble affects the gas to distances up to several kiloparsecs from the injection region. The shocks resulting from such interactions create a multi-phase ISM and radial outflows. One of the striking result of this work is that low power jets (P_jet < 10^{43} erg/s) although less efficient in accelerating clouds, are trapped in the ISM for a longer time and hence affect the ISM over a larger volume. Jets of higher power drill through with relative ease. Although the relativistic jets launch strong outflows, there is little net mass ejection to very large distances, supporting a galactic fountain scenario for local feedback.

  1. JWST resolves jet-driven H2 and ionized outflows in radio galaxy 3C305

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    JWST data on 3C305 shows the compact radio jet efficiently drives kiloparsec-scale multiphase outflows via shocks, with high coupling to the observed gas kinetic power and radiative losses.

  2. Jet--ISM Interactions in Gaseous Disks: Simulating Kinetic Feedback in the Radio Galaxy 3C 326 N

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Jet–ISM coupling in multi-scale cloudy disks produces asymmetric lobes and kinematics that match the JWST-observed bubble in 3C 326 N for a 10^45 erg s^{-1} jet.

  3. Non-thermal emission in jets and winds: Expected emission and spectral index distributions

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Self-consistent CRE evolution in RMHD simulations produces distinct spectral-index gradients that distinguish compact AGN jets from winds even when morphology is ambiguous.

  4. Extreme outflow velocities and weak UV emission lines indicate quasars shedding their dust cocoons

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Six z~2-3 quasars with extreme LoBAL outflows and weak UV lines are interpreted as weak-emission-line quasars emerging from dust cocoons via disc winds that shatter grains and produce steeper extinction.

  5. Dust destruction signals shock-accelerated outflows in the nearby active galaxy NGC 1068

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Line ratio diagnostics in NGC 1068 indicate AGN outflows are shock-accelerated, with outflowing gas dust-free and 19-110 times denser than disk gas.

  6. Dust destruction signals shock-accelerated outflows in the nearby active galaxy NGC 1068

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Line ratio diagnostics in NGC 1068 indicate that AGN outflows are accelerated by shocks that destroy dust and compress gas.

  7. Tracing Cold Gas in Absorption Across Cosmic Time with the SKA

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    SKAO will enable HI and OH absorption surveys to characterize cold gas properties in galaxies from z=0 to beyond z=6.
