This edition of Interesting Astrophysics spans an even wide range of topics than normal, from C IV in the IGM (D'Odorico et al), X-ray emission from galaxies (Laird et al, Pietsch), a variety of supernova-related preprints, to AGN feedback/outflows and other topics I've not mentioned.
Galaxies and Starbursts

Bars in Starbursts and AGNs -- A Quantitative Reexamination
Lei Hao, Shardha Jogee, Fabio D. Barazza, Irina Marinova, Juntai Shen, arXiv:0910.3960 [ps, pdf, other]
Comments: 8 pages, 3 figures, to be published in "Galaxy Evolution: Emerging Insights and Future Challenges", ed. S. Jogee et al., Astron. Soc. Pacific, 2009
From their abstract: "We find that AGN and star-forming galaxies have similar optical bar fractions, 47% and 50%, respectively. Both bar fractions are higher than that in inactive galaxies (29%)."
Extragalactic CS survey
E. Bayet, R. Aladro, S. Martin, S. Viti, J. Martin-Pintado, arXiv:0910.4282 [pdf, other]
Comments: 17 pages, 16 figures, 3 tables, Accepted to ApJ
From the abstract: "We present a coherent and homogeneous multi-line study of the CS molecule in nearby (D$<$10Mpc) galaxies. We include, from the literature, all the available observations from the $J=1-0$ to the $J=7-6$ transitions towards NGC 253, NGC 1068, IC 342, Henize~2-10, M~82, the Antennae Galaxies and M~83."
Black Holes and AGN
Feeding and Feedback in nearby AGN from Integral Field Spectroscopy
Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann, arXiv:0910.3234 [ps, pdf, other]
Comments: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the conference "The Monster's Fiery Breath", eds. Sebastian Heinz and Eric Wilcots
From the abstract: "The ionized gas, on the other hand, traces the AGN feedback. Its
kinematics shows two components: (1) one originating in the plane, and
dominated by circular rotation; (2) another outflowing along the Narrow-Line
Region (NLR) whose flux distribution and kinematics frequently correlate with
structures seen in radio maps. Mass outflow rates along the NLR range from
10^-2 to 1 M_sun yr^-1, corresponding to 10-100 times the accretion rate to the
AGN, indicating that most of the NLR gas mass has been entrained from the
galaxy plane. The average kinetic power of the NLR outflows is ~10^-4 times the
bolometric luminosity.
