Here we use high-resolution cosmological simulations of a large cluster and group sample to study how BHs affect their host systems. We focus on two specific properties, the halo gas fraction and the X-ray luminosity-temperature scaling relation, both of which are notoriously difficult to reproduce in self-consistent hydrodynamical simulations. We show that BH feedback can solve both of these issues, bringing them in excellent agreement with observations, without alluding to the `cooling only' solution that produces unphysically bright central galaxies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-09-16T12:32:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "98.65.Cw", "98.62.Js", "98.62.Qz", "98.62.Ra" ], "keywords": [ "agn feedback", "galaxy clusters", "produces unphysically bright central galaxies", "halo gas fraction", "cluster centers vigorously interact" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.3293059" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 831425, "adsabs": "2009AIPC.1201..297P" } } }
