A variety of results obtained in the recent years are suggesting that not only the presence of gas outflows is a signature of the impact of the energy released by the active SMBH, but also the physical conditions of the gas in the central (kpc-scales) regions of galaxies can be used to trace such impact.

Feedback from AGN is considered the main physical mechanism to quench star formation in galaxies, at least at the high mass end of the galaxy population. This feedback is believed to operate through powerful, massive outflows driven by the energy release operated by the AGN.

AGN-driven multiphase outflows are thought to play a fundamental role in regulating both star formation and matter accretion onto supermassive black holes. However, the physical mechanisms driving their acceleration, as well as their energetic budget, remain poorly constrained by existing kinematic models, leaving their true impact on galaxy evolution uncertain. I will present a comprehensive...

The central kiloparsec of AGN host galaxies is a critical site where accretion, feedback, and galaxy-scale evolution intersect. Among the key components regulating this interplay is the dense molecular gas, which fuels both star formation and AGN activity, and constitutes the bulk of gaseous mass within the central region. In this study, we investigate how AGN feedback affects the morphology...

Galaxy evolution is tightly connected to Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), through feedback processes in which gas accretion onto the supermassive black hole drives powerful multiphase outflows. Detailed studies in the local Universe are crucial to resolve the physical scales and gas phases involved, enabling a comprehensive view of AGN-host interactions.

The large-scale environment is among the key factors that shape galaxy evolution, but, crucially, its impact on the cosmic growth and evolution of SMBHs is still poorly probed. Galaxy clusters in the local Universe host populations of galaxies and SMBHs that are typically more massive and evolved than in the field environment. Therefore, their high-redshift (z>2) progenitors are the best...

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to play a key role in shaping the buildup of galaxies. AGN-driven outflows could be responsible for efficient gas removal or heating and are now routinely detected at any redshift. At the same time, if AGN influence galaxy growth, then they will reasonably impact the molecular gas reservoir first, and star formation as a consequence. While convincing...

Supermassive black holes spend up to 95% of their lifetimes in low-accretion states, yet the nature and cumulative impact of their feedback remain poorly constrained. Recent JWST observations of M58, a nearby low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN), reveal more than 44 molecular hydrogen emission lines excited by low-velocity, low-density shocks. The shocked warm molecular gas extends to kiloparsec scales...

Quasars (QSOs) efficiently turn gravitational energy into huge luminous outputs, as matter spirals towards a supermassive black hole (SMBH) through an accretion disc. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of QSOs are mainly governed by few parameters, namely the SMBH mass ($M_{\rm BH}$), the accretion rate ($\dot{M}$) and the efficiency (i.e. the SMBH spin). Despite the general agreement on...

Outflows are crucial to AGN feedback, transporting mass and energy from the nucleus to the host galaxy across various scales. Theoretical models suggest that sub-relativistic Ultra Fast Outflows (UFOs), which interact with the ISM, decelerate and lose ionization, potentially driving large-scale, multi-phase outflows observable in optical and molecular gas.

93. Radio-jets Feedback at play at Cosmic Dawn: An ALMA [CII] survey of 26 Radio-Loud Quasars at z>5Chiara Mazzucchelli (Universidad Diego Portales, Chile)Poster + Flash talk
Radio-jets are thought to play a key role in shaping the host galaxy/black hole interplay in AGN. Given the recent advent of new large-area radio surveys, the sample of radio-loud (RL) quasars at z>5 doubled in the last few years. However, little is currently known about radio-mode feedback at such redshifts. Initial sub-mm observations of a few RL quasars provide intriguing clues of the...
