Abstract:

Recent observations show a multitude of physical effects that occur
when active galactic nuclei (AGN) interact with the ambient
intracluster medium (ICM). While these effects are widely believed to
be crucial for the formation of structure in the universe, they are
still poorly understood. This is apparent not only from the persistent
debate about cooling flows. Furthermore, the interaction between AGN
and the ICM is essential for all models of feedback, which is believed
to be the crucial ingredient for the baryonic part of galaxy
formation. Here an overview of the current state of observations is 
given and recent progress in theoretical modelling of feedback is given.
