Do massive winds induced by black hole jets alter galaxy evolution? Evidence from the ALMA Radio Source Catalog (ARC)

- Excitation (astrochemical radiative transfer) analyses for the study of the gas pressure in jet-impacted regions of galaxies,
- kinematical analyses of galaxies with massive gas components out of dynamical equilibrium for the discovery of massive molecular winds driven by black holes,
- gaseous and stellar content of radio galaxies: its comparison with the same properties in typical galaxies of different look-back times,
- the role of feedback in inducing galaxy mass function changes,
- stellar population fitting for the evaluation of star formation changes in jet-impacted regions of galaxies.

European Southern Observatory Atacama Large Millimeter Array and Very Large Telescope data are used for this project, complemented by data from many ground-based and space observatories (e.g., Hubble, Spitzer, Herschel, GALEX...).
