The Masses of Active Galactic Nuclei
Vistas in Astronomy, 1988The study of the variability of the X-ray radiation in AGNs on time scales of 102 to 105sec is of fundamental importance for understanding the nature of their central source. Recently Wandel & Mushotzky [1] determined the masses of AGNs from their X-ray variability assuming the emitting region of X-rays to be five Schwarzschild radii.

So far, we have discussed the radio continuum (specifically: the synchrotron) emission of normal, i.e. star-forming galaxies, along with their magnetic field. As pointed out in Sect. 5.5, their synchrotron luminosity is closely associated with the star formation in their disks, this giving rise to the well-known radio-FIR correlation established for ...

This AGN textbook gives an overview on the current knowledge of the Active Galactic Nuclei phenomenon. The spectral energy distribution will be discussed, pointing out what can be observed in different wavebands. The different physical models are presented together with formula important for the understanding of AGN physics.

The Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy organizes each year in the late winter or early spring an advanced course. The format of the school is always iden tical: three leading lecturers are invited to cover the subject in nine or ten lectures each and to deliver a written version of their lecture notes.

The term Active Galactic Nuclei includes QSOs (Quasi-Stellar Objects), Seyfert galaxies, BL Lac objects and nuclei showing unusual amounts of star formation. South African work has centred on the photometric properties of these objects, both in the optical(UBVRI) and the infrared(JHKL). Photometry has been used to investigate the nature of the relevant

Well before the discovery of quasars, a special class of galaxies was known to harbor unusually powerful nuclei (Seyfert, 1943). Two primary defining characteristics of these active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are an intense point-like nuclear continuum source and strong, broad emission lines, neither of which could arise from ordinary stellar processes ...

These lectures review briefly the spectra and classification of active galactic nuclei (AGN), including quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), and the properties of their ‘host’ galaxies; starbursts (SB) and the possible association between galaxy interactions, SB, and AGN.
