    Description

    During the past decade, convincing evidence has been accumulated concerning the effect of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity on the internal and external environment of their host galaxies. Featuring contributions from well-respected researchers in the field, and bringing together work by specialists in both galaxy formation and AGN, this volume addresses a number of key questions about AGN feedback in the context of galaxy formation. The topics covered include downsizing and star-formation time scales in massive elliptical galaxies, the connection between the epochs of supermassive black hole growth and galaxy formation and the question of whether AGN and star formation coexist. Authors also discuss key challenging computational problems, including jet-interstellar/intergalactic medium interactions, and both jet- and merging-induced star formation. Suitable for researchers and graduate students in astrophysics, this volume reflects the engaging and lively discussions taking place in this emerging field of research.

    • Presents the proceedings of the first workshop specifically dedicated to discussing AGN feedback in the context of galaxy formation
    • Includes contributions from internationally respected experts, as well as new and active researchers
    • Provides a thorough introduction to an emerging cross-disciplinary field within astrophysics and cosmology

    Reviews & endorsements

    '… a well-rounded summary of the recent status of this fast-moving research field, as well as a discussion of some of the most important outstanding problems.' The Observatory
