Spectral Energy Distributions and Emission Processes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN)

该项目建立并扩展了之前成功的博士课题(金、赫顿和柯林森)，它结合了现有的多波长阿金数据和来自地面望远镜和卫星的新观测，以及达勒姆天文学小组在这里开发的最先进的模型。其中的目标和成果是更好地了解黑洞自转和流出的物理，包括喷流和风，在活动星系核，特别是高吸积率(爱丁顿比率)的影响。

This project builds on and extends successful previous PhD topics (Jin, Hutton and Collinson).It combines existing multi-wavelength archine data and new observations from both ground-based telescopes and satellites, with state-of-the-art models developed here in the Durham astronomy group. Amongst the aims and outcomes, are to gain a better understanding of black hole spin and the physics of outflows, both jets and winds, in AGN, in particular the influence of high accretions rates (Eddington ratios).
