The Structure of the Broad-Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei

在光谱中的宽发射线的变化， 活动星系核揭示了关于 线发射区的结构和运动学， 中央源的性质。 这项工作所支持的 赠款将首次提供详细的，独立于模型的 活动星系核的结构图。 的目标 这个程序是为了确定结构和运动学的 在活动核中，通过重复 对有限来源的观察。 这是信息 关于活动星系核，这是其他星系无法获得的。 路上了 首席研究员被认为是 这个研究领域。

The variability of the broad emission lines in the spectra of active galactic nuclei reveals fundamental information about the structure and kinematics of the line-emitting region and about the nature of the central source. The work to be supported by this grant will provide, for the first time, detailed, model-independent mappings of the structure of active galactic nuclei. The goal of this program is to determine the structure and kinematics of the braod-line emitting regions in active nuclei through repeated observations of a limited number of sources. This is information about active galactic nuclei which cannot be obtained in any other way. The Principal Investigator is regarded as one of the leaders in this area of research.
