Three types of AGN feedback seen by Chandra

Chandra high-resolution ACIS-S observations of many CT AGNs have provided clear evidence of three ways in which the AGNs interact with the ISM of the host galaxy: (1) radiation, affecting both the gaseous ISM and dense molecular clouds; (2) jets, causing localized shocks and lateral outflows; and (3) fast nuclear outflows. This talk will illustrate these phenomena and conclude with a revised AGN “standard model”.
