How Can Stars and Active Black Holes Reshape Their Host Galaxy?

When does energetic feedback compress, heat, expel, or redistribute gas?

Follow energy from young stars and an active nucleus into galactic gas, then compare heating, outflow, retention, and compression as measurable outcomes rather than one universal shutdown switch.
