Description for Relativistic Flows in Astrophysics
Hardback. Studying relativistic outflows such as those seen in gamma-ray bursts, microquasars and active galactic nuclei, this volume starts with lectures on physical processes relevant to all astrophysical systems exhibiting relativistic flows. It also explores particle acceleration and radiation. Editor(s): Guthmann, A.W. (Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany); Georganopoulos, M. (Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany); Marcowith, A. (CESR, Toulouse, France); Manolakou, K. (Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany). Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 258 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 542.
1. 1 Schematic Picture of AGN Some galaxies are known to emit radiation with extremely high luminosities from a rather small volume in the ??ray, X-ray and UV continuum. Such active cores are the so-called Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and the radiation is commonly believed to be a result of gravitational energy released by matter spiraling around 9 a supermassive central black hole of about 10 M (see Fig. 1). Though the central engine which produces the enormous observed activity cannot be resolved observationally, a standard picture of an AGN has gradually emerged to explain the richness of the ...
