An ALMA View of Molecular Gas in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)In this thesis I use ALMA observations to map the distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in the brightest cluster galaxies of three galaxy clusters: 2A0335+096, RXJ0821+0752, and RXCJ1504-0248. The goal is to understand ... -
Re-visiting the Radio-Mechanical Feedback in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-23)The self-regulated feedback from the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) plays a key role in the formation and evolution of galaxies by heating and expelling gas in galaxies. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the role ... -
The Relationship Between Active Galactic Nuclei and Metal-enriched Outflows in Galaxy Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-25)Clusters of galaxies are host to powerful Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) that greatly affect the thermal history of clusters. By keeping X-ray emitting gas from cooling, massive, run away star formation does not occur in the ...
