| Abstract [eng] |
Context . Most massive galaxies host a supermassive black hole at their centre. Matter accretion creates an active galactic nucleus (AGN), forming a relativistic particle wind. The wind heats and pushes the interstellar medium, producing galactic-wide outflows. Fast outflows remove the gas from galaxies and quench star formation, and while slower ( υ < 500 km s −1 ) outflows are ubiquitous, their effect is less clear but can be both positive and negative. |
