The universe's biggest galaxies have both vast atmospheres and supermassive central
black holes. This article reviews how those two components of a large galaxy couple and …

Understanding the physical mechanisms that control galaxy formation is a fundamental
challenge in contemporary astrophysics. Recent advances in the field of astrophysical …

We summarize what large surveys of the contemporary Universe have taught us about the
physics and phenomenology of the processes that link the formation and evolution of …

Radiation, winds, and jets from the active nucleus of a massive galaxy can interact with its
interstellar medium, and this can lead to ejection or heating of the gas. This terminates star …

The radiative cooling timescales at the centers of hot atmospheres surrounding elliptical
galaxies, groups and clusters are much shorter than their ages. Therefore, hot atmospheres …

We investigate the physics driving the cosmic star formation (SF) history using the more than
50 large, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations that together comprise the …

Abstract The hot (107 to 108 kelvin), X-ray-emitting intracluster medium (ICM) is the
dominant baryonic constituent of clusters of galaxies. In the cores of many clusters, radiative …

High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas
is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of solar …

This paper presents a study of the local radio source population, by cross-comparing the
data from the first data release (DR1) of the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) with the …

A large variety of nanometre-scale devices have been investigated in recent years,,,,,, that
could overcome the physical and economic limitations of current semiconductor devices. To …
