Modeling AGN feedback presents significant challenges, but has improved upon observational predictions derived from the \LCDM\ cosmology-based Millennium Simulation. Only a few subclasses of AGN have been studied regarding their feedback mechanisms, and with only the most rudimentary first-principle approaches, but the necessity of including AGN feedback to correctly predict colors and luminosities of galaxy mergers and quasars seems increasingly likely. + Two possible future models are also considered, one a more rigorous derivation involving chaotic cold accretion, and the other a "bubble" model of heated outflows. @@ -223,7 +226,7 @@ \begin{figure} \centering - \includegraphics[width=.8\textwidth]{colors.pdf} + \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{colors.pdf} \caption{ Bimodal color evolution for gas-rich mergers with black hole accretion.
