Possible effect of central black hole on host galaxy E BlackHole 30 E Galaxy Energy released by growth of Black Hole Gravitational Binding Energy of Host Galaxy 2 major modes for the interaction: Kinetic (radio/jet) and Radiative (quasar)
KEY QUESTIONS 1) Understanding the energy flow in cool cores of clusters, groups and ellipticals: (Velocity field, bulk motions, shocks, turbulence ) 2) Understanding the energy and mass flow of AGN outflows: (Mass and energy components, velocity structure, variability, ionization structure ) X-rays are most direct probe of crucial volume-filling component
Cool Cores in Clusters X-ray brightest region in Clusters and Groups, with size ~100 kpc Radius of XMS FOV ~ 130 kpc at z~0.1, which is well matched to cool cores Need to map flows (velocities and line widths), Line strengths, metallicities etc Athena XMS offers order of magnitude (or more) improvement over ASTRO-H on spatial resolution and counts, and 2 on spectral resolution.
Chandra 1.4 Ms

Perseus Athena XMS simulation FoV ~14 000 counts per pixel in brightest region in 50ks observation Most of the structures are resolved with 10 PSF and much better than XMM 5 PSF is desirable, but not required
Perseus - simulated spectrum From Fe-K only: 38 km/s broadening (34 km/s absolute) From Fe-L only: 24 km/s broadening (24 km/s absolute) Can use soft and hard bands independently

Centaurus measuring radiative cooling & metals
Abell 1835 more distant cluster at z = 0.25 Abell 1835: luminous - 1.6 x 10 45 erg/s Readout XMS FoV Athena PSF is much better than XMM for removing point sources Note: the Athena images are smoothed and rebinned Chandra images
Abell 1835 Sim-X simulation with background 50 ks SIM-X simulation with XMS showing ct/pixel Including finite exposure time and background ICM easily visible out to several hundred kpc
Abell 1835 broadening comparison XMM: 260 ks RGS observation of 30 arcsec strip Athena & ASTRO-H: 50 ks observations of 7 radius region (not resolved by ASTRO-H) Thermal broadening only assumed Almost 10x better than the larger XMM region in 1/5 of the exposure time 12 km/s absolute velocity accuracy (90% level)

Abell 1835 limits on cooling To understand AGN feedback we need to measure the gas distribution as a function of temperature What fraction successfully cools, forming stars? RGS results from Sanders et al 2010 50 ks Athena 2 simulations Assumes 100 Msun/yr cooling below 2.7 kev and hot component from 7 arcsec radius region
Cool Core Summary Athena well matched for science Background unlikely to be an issue (note surface brightness independent of z for nearby objects) WFI will carry out general cluster study simultaneously Results should enable major advances to be made
Outflows from AGNs and their feedback impact on galaxies/groups/clusters: Most important is to: i) Do detailed modeling and probe the outflow dynamics in brightest AGNs (to constrain geometry and location, hence energetics); ii) Characterize the outflow properties (N w,, out ) in QSOs up to z=2.
