Physical Processes in Active Galactic Nuclei

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Saas-Fee Advanced Course 20 ((SAASFEE))

Abstract

Active Galactic Nuclei (henceforth AGN) have been observed assiduously throughout the electromagnetic spectrum over the past 30 years and we know much about their collective and individual properties. Unfortunately, we are still a long way from being sure how they work.
