Description
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies, often called active galactic nuclei (AGN), have been observed to launch and power outflows, which can have a dramatic impact on the host galaxies themselves, the intergalactic medium, and the intracluster medium (Silk & Rees 1998; McNamara & Nulsen 2007; Somerville et al. 2008; Hopkins & Elvis 2010; McCarthy et al. 2010). One spectacular, wellobserved, type of outflow are relativistic jets, where particles are accelerated to near the speed of light in narrow collimated beams (often with an opening angle of∼ 1), which can extend up to megaparsec scales. These relativistic jets shine at all wavelengths, but are easily studied in radio, X-rays, and γ-rays when the jet axis is not far from our line of sight. Black-hole winds (King & Pounds 2015), on the other hand, are AGN outflows that are not collimated and are generally more difficult to detect …
