Presenter: Hsiang-Yi Karen Yang (National Tsing Hua University)

AGN feedback is believed to play an important role in the coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies. Galaxy clusters are excellent laboratories for studying AGN feedback as the interactions between AGN jets and the intracluster medium are clearly observable. In this talk, I will summarize the key findings regarding our understanding about AGN feeding and feedback in galaxy clusters. In particular, I will highlight the important yet often neglected microphysical processes such as the effects of cosmic rays. I will also discuss how these findings may give insights into the AGN feeding and feedback processes in general, e.g., in lower-mass, higher-redshift systems.
