Physical and Chemical Conditions of Molecular Gas in NGC 1068: The nuclear feedback in the circumnuclear disk and starburst ring
This episode discusses the physical and chemical conditions of molecular gas in NGC 1068, focusing on nuclear feedback from the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Hosts analyze how powerful AGN winds dynamically alter the gas in both the circumnuclear disk and starburst ring. The discussion emphasizes that this gas is an active participant, requiring advanced models that incorporate turbulence and magnetic fields.
