Using real and simulated measurements of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect to constrain models of AGN feedback

Energetic feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is often used in simulations to resolve several outstanding issues in galaxy formation, but its impact is still not fully understood. Here we derive new constraints on AGN feedback by comparing observations and simulations of the thermal Sunyaev-...
