“Strong” AGN Feedback in a Galaxy Merger: Phase Diagram

This movie illustrates relatively “strong” AGN feedback, and accompanies the previous movie. For the same times, this movie shows the temperature-density diagram of fast outflows (material moving radially with velocity > 500 km/s). We see at peak outflow, shortly after the accretion disk wind first slams into up cold dense material in the center of the merger, we get cold, fast outflows. Made by Paul Torrey.
