Topics to be Covered:
What is the nature of “cooling flow Elliptical Galaxies”?
How do Luminous IR galaxies (LIRGS) evolve and feed their Black Holes?
What can we learn from IR spectroscopy of LIRGS?
How do AGNs feed back on their hosts in the hi-Z Universe? (the revenge of the AGNs!)
How do starbursts blow winds? (the revenge of the massive stars!)

“Cooling flows”
According to the Fabian/Nulsen model, the hot X-ray emitting plasma in Elliptical Galaxies cools and falls into the galactic core, feeding the supermassive Black Hole.
Is this model correct?
Consider first the southern “poster child” of cooling flows, NGC 4696...

Conclusion on NGC 4696
The presence of dust implies we see matter from a minor merger, not a cooling flow. This is supported by:
Rotational support rather than infall
Low velocity dispersion in filaments
“Liner” Spectrum characteristic of low velocity (<100km/s) shocks.

What is the Nature of Transition Objects?
Do all (or any of) the transition objects contain an AGN?
For: Their line ratios are shifted in the direction of AGN.
Against: No radio point sources are detected in these objects.
Could this be the result of high free-free optical depth in the radio?
Answer: Only if surface rate of SF is rather extreme, or if the AGN has a very strong ionized wind.
If so, why are the ULIRGS more LINER-like than Seyfert II -like?
Could this indicate a role for distributed shock emission?
Could the IMF in these objects be unusually flat?

Analytic Modelling (Dopita et al. 2004-8)
Use STARBURST 99 to provide the intrinsic stellar SEDs.
Use MAPPINGS IIIq to compute HII region temperature, ionisation, emission line spectrum, dust and PAH absorption, dust re-emission in the mid- and far-IR.
Dust model includes grain shattering size spectrum, quantum fluctuations of the dust temperature & PAH photodissociation.
Ensure that any cluster of a given age is placed in its self-consistent evolving HII region.
Add the contribution of the old (10-100Myr) stars.
Put the whole lot behind a dusty turbulent foreground screen.

Ly-Alpha Halos associated with Hi-z Radio Galaxies are:
Luminous: F = 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2 or L = 1044 erg sec-1 &
Large: up to 200 kpc across or ~ 20 arc sec in diameter!
Over 400 candidates remain unstudied.
These Galaxies both represent truly galaxy-wide starbursts with chemical enrichment and “maximal” star formation extending over some 10-100 kpc2.
Such galaxies (and their radio-quiet counterparts) probably represent the dominant mode of star formation in the Universe at 4 > z > 2, forming typically 300-3000 solar masses per year.

Condition to drive a Galactic WindWe need (at least) that the kinetic energy injection per unit area into a fraction of the disk gas will exceed its binding energy:
Star formation follows the Kennicutt (1998) Law:
So a wind becomes possible when:
Therefore, a wind is driven when:
Escape Velocity is Low (i.e. galaxy is small)Lifetime of Starburst is longGas surface density is high

Conclusions: Winds & Fountains
Galactic winds can be driven when the collective effects of disk star formation become important, i.e. when hot bubbles can collide & merge in the halo.
Starburst winds are driven when the star formation is of high concentration, long continued, and when the depth of the galaxian potential is sufficiently shallow.
These conditions may be mutually exclusive, but are generally favoured in merging starburst galaxies.
