Active Galactic Nuclei : From the Central Black Hole to the Galactic Environment

Omtale

Begins by addressing basic questions about active galactic nuclei: What are they? How can they be found? How do they evolve? This book assesses the evidence for massive black holes and considers how they generate power by accretion. It discusses X-ray and g-ray emission, radio emission and jets, emission and absorption lines, and others.
