Description
AGN feedback is a complex problem. It involves multiple spatial scales, multiple gas phases and mass scales, multiple physical processes and timescales. Recent progress has been accelerated by an increase in both computational developments and observational facilities. The past years have witnessed the dawn of a new range of sub-grid models for AGN feedback, incorporated into ever-more-detailed cosmological simulations. Observationally, great progress has been made in characterizing the demographics of AGN driven outflows and jets using Integral Field Spectrographs from the ground and sub-mm and radio interferometers.
I will review where we stand in this field and future directions, linked also to upcoming new observational facilities.
