Name:JFLASH
Description:Jet-FLASH
Abstract:JFLASH is an expansion of the well known FLASH code, aiming at simulating the interaction of a relatuvistic jet originating from an Active Galactic Nucleus into the Interstellar/Intergalactic Medium. JFLASH is currently used to study the feedback which Supermassive Black Holes can have on the ISM/IGM of their host galaxies, and to make predictions of their impact on the star formation and evolution. Using JSTAR, a jont team of researchers from INAF/Catania and the University of Oxford, UK, have recently demonstrated the possibility of positive feedback, where the weak shocks produced by the jet can enhance star formation before negative feedback eventually takes place.
