Observational Constraints on the Influence of Active Galactic Nuclei on the Evolution of Galaxies
This prize-winning Ph.D. thesis by Chris Harrison adopts a multi-faceted approach to address the lack of decisive observational evidence, utilising large observational data sets from several world-leading telescopes. Developing several novel observational techniques, Harrison demonstrated that energetic winds driven by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are found in a large number of galaxies, with properties in agreement with model predictions. One of the key unsolved problems in astrophysics is understanding the influence of AGN, the sites of growing supermassive black holes, on the evolution of galaxies. Leading theoretical models predict that A…

Über den Autor
Chris Harrison completed an undergraduate degree in Astrophysics at Edinburgh University before moving to Durham University for his PhD in 2010. During his PhD he published a number of academic papers, was invited to a speak at international conferences and was awarded telescope time on a variety of facilities as lead investigator. Chris was awarded the Keith Nicolas Prize in 2013 and the Physics Thesis Prize by Durham University in 2014. He now continues to develop the research presented in his thesis at Durham University as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
