Feedback Mechanisms• Energy Input
– Stars (local)• SN• HII• Winds
– AGN • Via Radiation• Jets (large scale)• Winds (Broad Absorption Line QSOs)
• Momentum Input– Stars
• SN• Radiation
– AGN• Radiation

Radiation Pressure Feedback • Dust absorbs the radiation produced by starbursts or AGN
• Dust collisionally coupled to the gas: mfp ~ 1 a0.1n1 pc
• Starlight provides turbulent pressure support of ISM • Momentum-driven wind: V∞ ~ Vc L/c MWV∞
L ~ 10-3 M*c2 ~ MWV∞c MW ~ M*
• Efficient mechanism for blowing cold dusty gas out of a galaxy (i.e, couples to the phase of the ISM with most of the mass)

The Maximum Luminosity of Starbursts

Black Holes• Efficient angular momentum transport in mergers
can trigger BH growth and AGN activity
• Dust present outside Rsub ~ 1 L1/246 pc
• If L LM, AGN can blow dusty gas out of
its vicinity, controlling its own fuel supply

The Origin of the M- Relation?
• Inside Rsub ~ 1 L46 pc, dust destroyed
• ‘Normal’ optically thin Eddington limit applies
• With sufficient fuel supply, L ~ LEDD MBH
• As BH grows, L LM 4

Is the BH or Stellar Feedback Responsible for the Bulk of the Gas
Removal?
• L*=4fg4c/G seen; implies radiation limited (not BH limited) star formation rate
• Winds are seen; if massive enough, Faber-Jackson follows. Not blown by AGN
• BH is affected by but not fg; fine tuning required to arrange for Faber-Jackson
• See ongoing star formation in ellipticals (at low level)--no supression of star formation in situ
• But AGN feedback likely restricts mass accretion from large radii

Feedback in Galactic Disks
• Marginally Stable:
• H/R~vT/vc roughly constant
• Stars form in molecular gas
• dN/dM~ M-1.8 => mass in big clouds
• Most stars form in Giant Molecuar Clouds

Clumps and Star Clusters
• IRDCs: dN/dM~M-1.97 (Simon et al. ApJ 2006)
• Clumps: dN/dM~M-1.8
• Molecular Cloud Cores dN/dM~-1.7 (Lada,Bally
& Stark 1991)
• Clusters: dN/dM~M-2 (Lada & Lada 2003)
• => Most stars form in massive clusters

Summary(Local Feedback)
• Star formation is observed to be inefficient• Scaling relations imply a single mechanism• SN too late to halt SF in Starbursts/ULIRGS• HII helps in MW, not in ULIRGS• Stellar Winds seem ineffective• Radiation pressure on dust can work
