Even central galaxies feel their environment: cosmic siphoning of cool gas accretion

Identifying the key processes regulating cool gas accretion in galaxies is essential for understanding the baryon cycle within galactic ecosystems.

Identifying the key processes regulating cool gas accretion in galaxies is essential for understanding the baryon cycle within galactic ecosystems. Recent studies indicate that the most fundamental internal process is likely the competition between halos and central black holes.…
