AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale.

X-Ray Luminous Non-Seyfert Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 There are now well established classes of X-ray emitting galaxies, which exhibit characteristic ranges of luminosity, for example Green et al. (1992). The ROSAT all sky survey, has detected a relatively small number of galaxies whose overall properties do not appear consistent with any of these classes. We discuss whether these X-ray luminous galaxies (

A Practical Guide to the Massive Black Hole Cosmic History
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 I review our current understanding of massive black hole (MBH) formation and evolution along the cosmic history. After a brief introductory overview of the relevance of MBHs in the hierarchical structure formation paradigm, I discuss the main viable channels for seed BH formation at high redshift and for their subsequent mass growth and spin evolution.

Clustering of X‐Ray‐Selected AGN
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The study of the angular and spatial structure of the X‐ray sky has been under investigation since the times of the Einstein X‐ray Observatory. This topic has fascinated more than two generations of scientists and slowly unveiled an unexpected scenario regarding the consequences of the angular and spatial distribution of X‐ray sources.

Compact radio cores in Seyfert galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 We have observed a sample of 157 Seyfert galaxies with a 275 km baseline radio interferometer to search for compact, high brightness temperature radio emission from the active nucleus. We obtain the surprising result that compact radio cores are much more common in Seyfert 2 than in Seyfert 1 galaxies, which at first seems to be inconsistent with ...

Microvariability in Seyfert Galaxies
The Astronomical Journal, 2003 We present the results of a search for microvariability in a sample of eight Seyfert galaxies. Microvariability (i.e., variations occurring on timescales of tens of minutes to hours) has been conclusively demonstrated to exist in the class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) known as blazars. Its existence in other classes of AGNs is far less certain.

Markarian and Seyfert Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 Since this symposium is devoted to the 90th anniversary of Prof. Ambartsumian's birthday I would like to touch briefly upon some historical aspects of V. Ambartsumian's ideas on activity of nuclei of galaxies.
