4. “AGN on the beach – The many facets of fuelling and feedback in jetted AGN” (11-15 September 2023, Tropea, Italy)
http://agnonthebeach.space/
SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE AND GOALS OF THE MEETING:
Relativistic radio-emitting jets associated with active galactic nuclei (AGN) likely play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. By transferring a fraction of their kinetic energy to the surrounding medium (the so-called “kinetic-mode” AGN feedback), radio jets can both quench (negative feedback) and promote (positive feedback) star formation, thus regulating the growth of both central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies. One of the most spectacular phenomena associated with relativistic jets is indeed the creation of cavities and shocks in the hot X-ray-emitting atmospheres of galaxies, groups, and clusters, providing the most striking evidence that expanding radio jets can heat the surroundings, balancing its spontaneous radiative cooling losses.
Complementing earlier high-resolution radio, optical, and X-ray instruments (e.g. VLA, HST, Chandra, XMM-Newton), the unprecedented resolution and sensitivity provided by the latest generation of telescopes (e.g. VLT/MUSE, ALMA and the SKA precursors/pathfinders) combined with state-of-the-art simulations, have opened up new regimes that have started revolutionising our view of the interplay between the radio jets and their surrounding medium. For instance, evidence has been accumulated over the past few years that jet-mode feedback can significantly alter the distribution, kinematics, and physics of the surrounding gaseous medium also on (sub-)kpc scales, with a few examples starting to appear at high redshift as well. Recent observations also suggest that jetted AGN may be self-regulated by a feeding and feedback loop, in which the matter that fuels the SMBH and triggers the jet activity gets regularly heated by these latter and stops being accreted, setting-up a cycle that is fast compared to the evolutionary timescales of the host galaxies. All this provides clear evidence of a deep connection between the large-scale environment, fuelling/feedback processes of jetted AGN and their host galaxy evolution, although the complexity of these phenomena still leave many open questions.
With the advent of next-generation telescopes (e.g. JWST, SKA, Athena), we are at the brink of an exciting new era of discoveries in terms of jetted AGN physics, including their role in the high-redshift universe, which will surely translate to a broader understanding of galaxy evolution across cosmic times. The aim of this workshop is to summarise and discuss our state of knowledge on this topic. We will focus on the results obtained from the wealth of multi-wavelength observations acquired over the past few years, including complementary theoretical understanding, and look towards future perspectives in the context of forthcoming facilities. In particular, we aim to address the following scientific topics:
– Gas replenishing mechanism(s) and the role of the large-scale environment
– Fuelling processes on (sub-)kpc scales and jet powering mechanisms
– Jet-induced feedback on galactic and extragalactic scales
– Jet-ISM interaction on (sub-)kpc scales (positive vs negative feedback)
– AGN duty cycle
LOGISTIC:
The workshop will be held in-person only and is limited to 70 attendees, to enable effective discussion.
Abstract submission will open in due course. If you are interested in receiving announcements when this happens, please express interest via the dedicated page on our website: http://agnonthebeach.space/.
Relevant dates and information on the registration fee will be soon provided on the same website, and circulated in following announcements. SOC:

5. Postdoc JWST CNES – Appel à sujetsDeadline: 09 Novembre 2022
Le CNES souhaite soutenir les équipes françaises impliquées dans l’exploitation scientifique du temps ouvert de la mission JWST (General Observer Program, ou GO, voir CALLS FOR PROPOSALS AND POLICY (stsci.edu)) en finançant chaque année deux post-doctorats (d’une durée de deux ans chacun). Le CNES lance donc la procédure pour la sélection d’un premier postdoc. Un appel pour un second postdoc sera mis en place dans un an environ, puis renouvelé chaque année en phase avec les appels du programme GO JWST.
L’appel à sujets est ouvert à toute la communauté scientifique française, selon les modalités suivantes :
1) Chaque équipe proposante devra fournir un document de 3 pages maximum décrivant le projet scientifique : Nom et/ou numéro de référence du programme GO obtenu, contexte, objectifs visés, étapes du projet, méthodologies envisagées, ainsi que la liste des personnes impliquées dans le projet. Le document devra être envoyé au plus tard le 09/11/2022 à minuit à olivier.lamarle@cnes.fr.
2) Les propositions seront examinées en novembre par un comité ad’hoc comprenant un représentant des Programmes Nationaux concernés (PNCG, PCMI, PNPS, PNP) et le Président du Groupe Astronomie-Astrophysique du CNES. Ce comité sélectionnera 1 sujet.
3) Le résultat de la sélection sera transmis aux proposants fin novembre au plus tard. Le CNES mettra le budget nécessaire en place auprès de l’organisme de tutelle. L’équipe sélectionnée organisera librement son processus de recherche et de sélection de candidat.e, avec l’objectif de le conclure dans les 3 mois qui suivront l’annonce de la sélection du sujet.
Remarques importantes:
- L’excellence scientifique est un critère majeur. Les proposants devront notamment démontrer l’intérêt du projet, en termes de résultats attendus et d’originalité.
- Ce soutien spécifique du CNES pour JWST est distinct et indépendant des allocations postdoctorales que le CNES attribue chaque année à de jeunes chercheurs sur la base de l’excellence de leur candidature. Ces deux processus – soutien au projet JWST et allocations postdoctorales – ne sont d’ailleurs pas mutuellement exclusifs.
