L=LAGN L=L* < 0.025 LAGN < 0.005 L* Supernovae and stellar winds can provide a mechanical luminosity of up to ~1.8% of L* (Leitherer + 1999, Veilleux+2005, Harrison+ 2014) of which less than ¼ will go into bulk motion of the ISM energy-conserving winds from the starburst unable to drive the observed molecular outflows, at least in the strong outflow cases. Energy-conserving bubbles created by AGN winds supply up to ~5% of LAGN (e.g. King&Pounds 2015) with ½ going into bulk motion of the ISM (Faucher-Giguère & Quataert 2012)

IV) Positive feedback Several recent models1) predict that such massive outflows may ignite star formation within the outflow itself. This star-formation mode, in which stars form with high radial velocities, could contribute to the morphological evolution of galaxies the evolution in size and velocity dispersion of the spheroidal component of galaxies the population of high-velocity stars, which could even escape the galaxy. Such star formation could provide in situ chemical enrichment of the circumgalactic and intergalactic medium (through supernova explosions of young stars on large orbits), and some models also predict it to contribute substantially to the star-formation rate observed in distant galaxies. 1) e.g. Ishibashi, Fabian+ 2012, 2013; Zubovas+ 2013, 2014; Silk 2013, ESO science release 1710: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1710/

They are inconsistent with schock or AGN excitation The outflow line ratios are consistent with those observed in star-forming galaxies They are inconsistent with schock or AGN excitation The presence of young stars is clearly revealed in the ultraviolet Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. BUT: from imaging alone it is not possible to disentangle putative young stars in the outflow from young stars in the galaxy disks, whose ultraviolet radiation field can potentially ionize the gas in the outflow (externally) and produce the line ratios observed in the outflow.

Even better evidence for stars formed in the outflow is the direct detection of a young stellar population with the kinematical fingerprints of formation inside the outflow Maiolino+ 2017

SUMMARY - In a sample of ~50 ULIRGs and ~50 AGN: detections of massive molecular outflows in 70% of ULIRGs and 9% of BAT AGNs; inflows in 11% of ULIRGs and 17% of BAT AGNs - Outflows ubiquitous in ULIRGs not a pencil beam effect - Outflow velocity LAGN, vmax > 1000km/s, - Outflow dominated by AGN, at least for luminous AGN - Combined momentum from AGN and starburst can drive the outflows in weak and moderate cases. - The strongest outflows require energy-driven AGN mechanism - tcon / tdep = 1.5 – 15, Mass loading η = 1 - 10 - Momentum rates of about 20 LAGN/c are common among the AGN-dominated sources in our sample. - CO results agree very well with OH results - OH outflow velocities and [CII] FWHM are correlated - Outflowing masses derived from [CII] and from OH are similar and show the same trends - Strong evidence found for star formation IN the outflow of IRAS F23128−5919 Fischer+2010, Sturm+2011, Veilleux + 2013, Cicone+ 2014, Stone+ 2016, Janssen+ 2016, 2017, Maiolino+ 2017 ~
