How Polarization and Scattering can reveal Geometries, Dynamics, and Feeding of Active Galactic Nuclei
R. W. Goosmann, C. M. Gaskell, M. Shoji
Gaskell et al. (2007) introduced polarization reverberation mapping as a new technique to explore the structure of active galactic nuclei. We present modeling results for the time-…
Structure and Kinematics of the Broad-Line Region and Torus of Active Galactic Nuclei
C. Martin Gaskell, Rene W. Goosmann, Elizabeth S. Klimek
Energetics considerations imply that the broad-line region (BLR) has a high covering factor. The absence of absorption from the BLR means that the BLR has to have a flattened distr…
Observing the strong gravity regime of accreting black holes with Simbol-X
R. W. Goosmann, M. Dovciak, V. Karas
The X-ray reflection features of irradiated accretion disks around black holes enable us to probe the effects of strong gravity. We investigate to which precision the reflection si…
Modelling the polarization dichotomy of Active Galactic Nuclei
Rene W. Goosmann
I present polarization modelling of Active Galactic Nuclei in the optical/UV range. The modelling is conducted using the Monte-Carlo radiative transfer code Stokes, which self-cons…
Variation of the primary and reprocessed radiation in the flare-spot model
M. Dovciak, V. Karas, G. Matt +1
We study light curves and spectra (equivalent widths of the iron line and some other spectral characteristics) which arise by reprocessing on the surface of an accretion disc, foll…
Variation in the primary and reprocessed radiation from an orbiting spot around a black hole
M. Dovciak, V. Karas, G. Matt +1
We study light curves and spectra (equivalent widths of the iron line and some other spectral characteristics) which arise by reflection on the surface of an accretion disc, follow…
