Morphology of flows and buoyant bubbles in the Virgo cluster

Significance of output:

An Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is a compact radiation-emitting region at the center of a galaxy. Each AGN is thought to surround a black hole and to take its energy from the black hole's accretion of mass. AGNs are key to understanding the evolution of galaxies and, therefore, the structure of the universe. In this work the interaction of jets of plasma which are emitted by the AGN with the surrounding intra cluster medium is investigated. It is shown how the jets dissipate the injected energy as heat, thereby controlling the energy-driven evolution of the galaxies throughout the universe.
