Stellar feedback -- stars regulating further star formation through the injection of energy and momentum into the interstellar medium -- operates through a complex set of processes that originate in star clusters but shape entire galaxies. A mature theory of stellar feedback is essential to a complete theory of star and galaxy formation, but the energy and momentum injected by hot gas into its surroundings remains unclear. With a next-generation X-ray observatory, breakthrough progress can be made through precision measurements of the temperature, density, velocity, and abundances of hot gas on scales of star clusters to galactic superwinds.

We observe the 1.2 mm continuum emission around the OB cluster forming region G10.6-0.4, using the IRAM 30m telescope MAMBO-2 bolometer array and the Submillimeter array. Comparison of the Spitzer 24 $mu$m and 8 $mu$m images with our 1.2 mm continuum
maps reveals the ionization front of an HII region, the photon-dominated layer, and several 5 pc scale filaments following the outer edge of the photon-dominated layer. The filaments, which are resolved in the MAMBO-2 observations, show regularly spaced parsec-scale molecular clumps, embedded with a cluster of submillimeter molecular cores as shown in the SMA 0.87 mm observations. Toward the center of the G10.6-0.4 region, the combined SMA+IRAM 30m continuum image reveals several, parsec-scale protrusions. They may continue down to within 0.1 pc of the geometric center of a dense 3 pc size structure, where a 200 M$_{odot}$ OB cluster resides. The observed filaments may facilitate mass accretion onto the central cluster--forming region in the presence of strong radiative and mechanical stellar feedbacks. Their filamentary geometry may also facilitate fragmentation. We did not detect any significant polarized emission at 0.87 mm in the inner 1 pc region with the SMA.
The observed massive end of the galaxy stellar mass function is steeper than its predicted dark matter halo counterpart in the standard $Lambda $CDM paradigm. In this paper, we investigate the impact of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on star f
ormation in massive galaxies. We isolate the impact of AGNs by comparing two simulations from the HORIZON suite, which are identical except that one also includes super massive black holes (SMBH), and related feedback models. This allows us to cross-identify individual galaxies between simulations and quantify the effect of AGN feedback on their properties, including stellar mass and gas outflows. We find that massive galaxies ($ rm M_{*} geq 10^{11} M_odot $) are quenched by AGN feedback to the extent that their stellar masses decrease by up to 80% at $z=0$. SMBHs affect their host halo through a combination of outflows that reduce their baryonic mass, particularly for galaxies in the mass range $ rm 10^9 M_odot leq M_{*} leq 10^{11} M_odot $, and a disruption of central gas inflows, which limits in-situ star formation. As a result, net gas inflows onto massive galaxies, $ rm M_{*} geq 10^{11} M_odot $, drop by up to 70%. We measure a redshift evolution in the stellar mass ratio of twin galaxies with and without AGN feedback, with galaxies of a given stellar mass showing stronger signs of quenching earlier on. This evolution is driven by a progressive flattening of the $rm M_{rm SMBH}-M_* $ relation with redshift, particularly for galaxies with $rm M_{*} leq 10^{10} M_odot $. $rm M_{rm SMBH}/M_*$ ratios decrease over time, as falling average gas densities in galaxies curb SMBH growth.
We simulate the effects of massive star feedback, via winds and SNe, on inhomogeneous molecular material left over from the formation of a massive stellar cluster. We use 3D hydrodynamic models with a temperature dependent average particle mass to mo
del the separate molecular, atomic, and ionized phases. We find that the winds blow out of the molecular clump along low-density channels, and gradually ablate denser material into these. However, the dense molecular gas is surprisingly long-lived and is not immediately affected by the first star in the cluster exploding.
We report the systematic analysis of knots, hotspots, and lobes in 57 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to investigate the variation of the magnetic field along with the jet from the sub-pc base to the terminus in kpc-to-Mpc scales. Expanding the number
of radio/X-ray samples in Kataoka & Stawarz (2005), we analyzed the data in 12 FR I and 30 FR II radio galaxies, 12 quasars, and 3 BL Lacs that contained 76 knots, 42 hotspots, and 29 radio lobes. We first derived the equipartition magnetic fields in the cores and then estimated those in various jet components by assuming $B_{rm est}$ $propto$ $d^{-1}$, where $d$ is the distance from the jet base. On the other hand, the magnetic field in large-scale jets (knots, hotspots, and lobes), $B_{rm eq}$, can be estimated from the observed flux and spatial extent under the equipartition hypothesis. We show that the magnetic field decreases as the distance along the jet increases, but generally gentler than $propto d^{-1}$. The increase in $B_{rm eq}/B_{rm est}$ at a larger $d$ may suggest the deceleration of the jet around the downstream, but there is no difference between FR I and FR II jets. Moreover, the magnetic fields in the hotspots are systematically larger than those of knots and lobes. Finally, we applied the same analysis to knots and lobes in Centaurus A to check whether the above discussion will hold even in a single jet source.
We investigated the jet width profile with distance along the jet in the nearby radio galaxy NGC 1052 at radial distances between $sim300$ to $4 times 10^7$ Schwarzschild Radii($R_{rm S}$) from the central engine on both their approaching and recedin
g jet sides. The width of jets was measured in images obtained with the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP), the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), and the Very Large Array (VLA). The jet-width profile of receding jets are apparently consistent with that of approaching jets throughout the measuring distance ranges, indicating symmetry at least up to the sphere of gravitational influence of the central black hole. The power-law index $a$ of the jet-width profile ($w_{rm{jet}} propto r^{a}$, where $w_{rm jet}$ is the jet width, $r$ is the distance from the central engine in the unit of $R_{rm S}$) apparently shows a transition from $a sim 0$ to $a sim 1$, i.e., the cylindrical-to-conical jet structures, at a distance of $sim1times10^{4} R_{mathrm{S}}$. The cylindrical jet shape at the small distances is reminiscent of the innermost jets in 3C 84. Both the central engines of NGC 1052 and 3C 84 are surrounded by dense material, part of which is ionized and causes heavy free-free absorption.
