Supermassive Black Hole Feedback in Massive Central Cluster Galaxies – Valeria Olivares

Galaxy cluster centers are superb laboratories for studying the baryon cycle that governs galaxy evolution and AGN feedback mechanisms. We can study how the intracluster medium (ICM) cools, feeds into galaxies, drives star formation, and ultimately triggers feedback from the universe’s most massive black holes. In this talk, I will present a correlation between the surface brightness of hot and warm gas phases in filamentary structures at galaxy cluster centers using MUSE, SITELLE and Chandra observations. The newly found correlation in these filaments shows a remarkable similarity to correlations in jellyfish galaxy tails, revealing an unexpected cosmic connection. I will also demonstrate how AGN feedback plays a key role in both the evolution and regulation of filament properties.
