From several observations it has been seen that AGN, residing at the centers of galaxy clusters are pouring huge amount of energy on the surrounding X-ray gas and are displacing the hot X-ray gas outward. The same phenomenon has been observed in galaxy groups too. This phenomenon is referred as AGN feedback in the literature. Feedback from AGN has a very profound effect on structure formation. By studying the X- ray surface brightness profiles of simulated galaxy groups we now theoretically evaluate the effect of AGN feedback on the gas in the intra-cluster (group) medium. In this work, we used the cosmological simulation from DiMatteo et al. 2008 to study the effect of AGN feedback on the X-Ray surface brightness profiles. Our result qualitatively matches the observational result which reveals that in the case of AGN feedback the X-ray gas is indeed underdense. Our next goal is to use a bigger cosmological data and look for the X-ray properties of galaxy groups and studying the co-evolution of the central black hole and the host galaxy. Comparing our results with observed surface brightness profiles of AGN makes the final goal of this work. |
