The Effects Of AGN On X-ray And SZ Galaxy Clusters
Abstract
We present a sample of 16 simulated galaxy clusters generated with the Adaptive Refinement Treecode (ART), which, for the first time, include a prescription for the self-consistent growth of and feedback from supermassive black holes. We explore the coevolution of the cluster central galaxy, its associated supermassive black hole, and the intracluster medium at small scales. In particular, we discuss the impact of feedback on the well known over-cooling problem in numerical simulations, and the importance of this regulation on Sunyaev-Zeldovich and X-ray observations of clusters in the local universe.
