Description for Physics of Active Galactic Nuclei at All Scales
Hardback. The source of energy in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is commonly accepted to be gravitational energy released through accretion of matter onto a supermassive black hole. This book addresses the link of an AGN with its host galaxy and also the related question of the birth and growth of massive black holes in the Universe. Editor(s): Alloin, Danielle; Johnson, Rachel; Lira, Paulina. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 246 pages, 82 black & white illustrations, 5 colour illustrations, 8 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 589.
The study of the physical processes at work in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has kept a large number of astronomers busy since the discovery, in the early sixties, of the ?rst radio galaxies and quasars. After a few decades of debate there is now a clear consensus about the source of energy in AGN, namely gravitational energy released through matter accretion onto a massive black hole. The most commonly accepted ideas regarding AGN are pictured in the so-called AGN uni?ed model, although one should remember that this is still a “working” model. Tremendous progress has been made in unveiling, analyzing, ... Read more
