This project investigates the dusty polar winds of active galactic nuclei, which are powerful cosmic phenomena. By studying these winds, the research aims to enhance understanding of their impact on supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, potentially transforming current models of nuclear dust structures.
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are the most powerful objects in the Universe.
Their power source is accretion of surrounding matter onto the supermassive black holes in the galaxy centers.
During the accretion process huge radiation pressure builds up preventing a large amount of matter to actually fall into the black hole.
Instead, it is blown away in polar directions up to kiloparsec scales.
Recently, it was discovered that these polar winds are very dusty and form hollow cones and therefore rou…
