Radiation pressure confinement -- V. The predicted free-free absorption and emission in active galactic nuclei
Alexei Baskin, Ari Laor
The effect of radiation pressure compression (RPC) on ionized gas in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) likely sets the photoionized gas density structure. The photoionized gas free-free…
Dust inflated accretion disc as the origin of the Broad Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei
Alexei Baskin, Ari Laor
The Broad Line Region (BLR) in AGN is composed of dense gas ( cm) on sub-pc scale, which absorbs about 30 per cent of the ionising continuum. The outer size of…
Spectral features of tidal-disruption candidates and alternative origins for such transient flares
Curtis J. Saxton, Hagai B. Perets, Alexei Baskin
UV and optically selected candidates for stellar tidal disruption events (TDE) often exhibit broad spectral features (HeII emission, H emission, or absorption lines) on a blackb…
On the origins of C IV absorption profile diversity in broad absorption line quasars
Alexei Baskin, Ari Laor, Fred Hamann
There is a large diversity in the C IV broad absorption line (BAL) profile among BAL quasars (BALQs). We quantify this diversity by exploring the distribution of the C IV BAL prope…
Radiation Pressure Confinement -- III. The origin of the broad ionization distribution in AGN outflows
Jonathan Stern, Ehud Behar, Ari Laor +2
The winds of ionized gas driven by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can be studied through absorption lines in their X-ray spectra. A recurring feature of these outflows is their broad…
Radiation pressure confinement - IV. Application to broad absorption line outflows
Alexei Baskin, Ari Laor, Jonathan Stern
A fraction of quasars present broad absorption lines, produced by outflowing gas with typical velocities of 3000 - 10,000 km/s. If the outflowing gas fills a significant fraction o…
