Radio source evolution from galaxy core to intracluster medium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 March 2015
Abstract
There is mounting evidence that mechanical kinetic-mode AGN feedback is important in galaxy evolution, and in order to quantify this feedback, detailed models of radio source evolution are required. Self-similar analytic models exist for large powerful radio sources but the evolution of young precursor radio sources is not yet fully understood. In this talk we present a versatile dynamical and radiative model for young source evolution on sub-kiloparsec scales, which extends existing self-similar models into a more complete radio source evolutionary model. This semi-analytic model is successful in reproducing the strong spectral aging observed in compact symmetric objects.
