X-ray Surface Brightness Profiles of Galaxy Groups from Cosmological
Simulations
Analytic models and numerical simulations of cluster formation predict that temperature and X-
ray luminosity are related as

Some other effect seems to be responsible for changing the LX-T slope. One possibility is AGN Feedback

OTHER OBSERVATIONAL PROOF OF AGN ACTIVITY
Cooling flow problem in galaxy clusters Cosmic downsizing
Using two cosmological hydrodynamic simulation we now want to study the effect of feedback on the X-ray surface brightness profile of galaxy groups. Both simulation starts from the same initial conditions. One set includes a model of AGN feedbackOne set does not include AGN feedback.
Aim of this Work
COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATION
The simulation used in this purpose has the following properties….
Box size Total no. of particles in the box Total no. of particles is the sum of cold dark matter
particles gas particles, star particles and black hole particles.
Mass of dark matter is Mass of gas particles is

Mh 181075.2
Mh 171024.4

METHODOLOGY Spherical region of radius 100 kpc is considered around the black hole X-ray map is constructed by allocating spatial grids to the region of space and computing smoothed x-ray flux at a given grid point To construct the x-ray surface brightness profile , map is divided into a no. of annular regions and x-ray flux of each region is calculated and a differential profile of flux is made as a function of distance
Mass of 2nd most massive BH at Z=3 is Accretion rate is Mass of the host halo of this black hole

RESULT
The left panel shows the X-ray map with feedback for 2nd most massive black hole at Z=3. The right panel shows the x-ray map without feedback for the same black hole
This is the differential profile of x-ray flux for with (dotted line) feedback and without feedback (solid line) cases
Conclusion and Future Work Without AGN feedback the x-ray flux is high at the centre X-ray flux is low at the centre & high outside when AGN activity is considered Our result is in accordance with the observation by McNamara & Nulsen We have studied this AGN activity for one red shift & one black hole In future our plan is to study this effect for more than one red shift & black hole
