| Description: | Among the AGN population, radio AGN are unique as they can exhibit multiple episodes of activity. Large radio surveys and sub-arcsecond resolution imaging with LOFAR have made it possible to investigate the radio AGN life-cycle in detail, and even its role in driving feedback in the AGN host galaxies. In this talk, I will present the results from my PhD thesis where we used sub-arcsecond resolution imaging with LOFAR to study an interesting case of a restarted radio AGN, and how it fits into our current understanding of the AGN life-cycle. Then, using LoTSS to identify a large sample of radio AGN and characterise them into young and evolved sources, we could also link the radio AGN life-cycle to feedback on ionised gas. Finally, I will also present some results from an ongoing study of the spatially resolved gas kinematics in radio AGN using MaNGA IFU data, to investigate the impact on ionised gas over galactic scales. |
