Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback at the Parsec Scale

We perform simulations to study the effects of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) radiation and wind feedback on the properties of slowly rotating accretion flow at the parsec scale. We find that when only radiative feedback is considered, outflows can be produced by the radiation pressure due to Thomson...

description We perform simulations to study the effects of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) radiation and wind feedback on the properties of slowly rotating accretion flow at the parsec scale. We find that when only radiative feedback is considered, outflows can be produced by the radiation pressure due to Thomson scattering. The mass flux of outflow is comparable to that of inflow. Although strong outflow is present, the luminosity of the AGN can be easily super-Eddington. When wind feedback is also taken into account, the mass flux of outflow does not change much. Consequently, the luminosity of the central AGN can still be super-Eddington. However, observations show that the luminosity of most AGNs is sub-Eddington. Some other mechanisms are needed to reduce the AGNs' luminosity. Although the mass outflow rate is not changed much by wind feedback, other properties of outflow (the density, temperature, velocity, and kinetic power) can be significantly changed by wind feedback. In the presence of wind feedback, the density of outflow becomes significantly lower, the temperature of outflow becomes significantly higher, the velocity of outflow is increased by one order of magnitude, and the kinetic power of outflow is increased by a factor of 40-100.
