Objectives
The main goal of this proposed study is to push beyond current limits in understanding the winds launched in super-Eddington accretion flows around massive black holes as well as their impacts on galaxy evolution. The detailed objectives are as below:1. To perform advanced general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of super-Eddington accretion flows around black holes2. To carefully analyze super-Eddington wind properties using the ""virtual particle trajectory"" method3. To implement the wind, jet and radiation feedback modes produced in AGN super-Eddington accretion into galaxy evolution
