Talk Title: AGN feedabck

Abstract: Jets and winds are significant channels for energy loss from accreting black holes. These outflows mechanically heat their surroundings, through shocks as well as gentler forms of heating. I will discuss the nature of this feedback and its possible role in regulating black hole growth. Clusters of galaxies, where feedback effects are evident, may serve as laboratories for studying the nature and distribution of mechanical heating by supermassive black holes.
