The Athena X-ray Observatory view of the Multiphase AGN Feeding and Feedback
Abstract
Athena is a large X-ray Observatory proposed to address the Science Theme "The Hot and Energetic Universe", which has been selected by ESA in its Cosmic Vision program with a planned launch in ~2030. After presenting the mission telescope and instruments, I will review its core science goals which, most notably, have a lot in common with the topics of this workshop. I will convey the message that Athena is, in my opinion, a "perfect machine" for studying the multi-facets (and scales) of AGN feeding and feedback.
