AGN jet/Stellar wind interaction. I have new data from 2 runs: weak and strong jet. The stellar wind now has a mass loss rate of 10-4Msun/yr and it goes off at the jet's axis. The wind lasts for 10kyr only, and after that I stop injecting it.

Jet tracer maps. It's a time sequence (bottom of each map) from left to right. Next to each other you see the with-star vs. the without-star sims, left and right, resp. You can see that the effect of ONE star on the jet lasts for 40kyr. http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~martinhe/2012/25sep.png
The same is true for the kinetic energy: snapshot at 30kyr after the star was ejecting its wind.http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~martinhe/2012/25sepB.png
The effect is much milder when the AGN jet is stronger. This is a logarithmic density map with overlaid jet tracer contours.http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~martinhe/2012/26sep.png
