Description
A far-infrared observatory such as the SPace Infrared telescope for
Cosmology and Astrophysics, with its unprecedented spectroscopic
sensitivity, would unveil the role of feedback in galaxy evolution
during the last 10 Gyr of the Universe (z = 1.5-2), through the use of
far- and mid-infrared molecular and ionic fine structure lines that
trace outflowing and infalling gas. Outflowing gas is identified in the
far-infrared through P-Cygni line shapes and absorption blueshifted
wings in molecular lines with high dipolar moments, and through emission
line wings of fine-structure lines of ionised gas. We quantify the
detectability of galaxy-scale massive molecular and ionised outflows as
a function of redshift in AGN-dominated, starburst-dominated, and
main-sequence galaxies, explore the detectability of metal-rich inflows
in the local Universe, and describe the most significant synergies with
other current and future observatories that will measure feedback in
galaxies via complementary tracers at other wavelengths.

PARSEC is a multi-wavelength investigation of the central PARSEC of the nearest galaxies. We work on black-hole accretion and its most energetic manifestations: jets and hot spots, and on its circumnuclear environment conditions for star formation. We resort to the highest available angular resolution observations from gamma-rays to the centimetre
