Irradiation of accretion discs in active galactic nuclei due to warm absorber
Z. Loska, B. Czerny, R. Szczerba
The presence of the warm absorber of considerable optical depth is seen in many AGN. We show that this medium may affect significantly the optical/UV spectrum of an AGN by backscat…
Extinction due to amorphous carbon grains in red quasars from the SDSS
B. Czerny, J. Li, Z. Loska +1
We construct a quasar extinction curve based on the blue and red composite quasar spectra of Richards et al. (2003) prepared from the SDSS survey. This extinction curve does not sh…
Universal spectral shape of high accretion rate AGN
B. Czerny, M. Nikolajuk, A. Rozanska +3
The spectra of quasars and NLS1 galaxies show surprising similarity in their spectral shape. They seem to scale only with the accretion rate. This is in contradiction with the simp…
Spectral Components in the Optical Emission of the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 5548 and the Comparison of Intrinsic Nuclear Spectra with Accreting Corona Model
J. Kuraszkiewicz, Z. Loska, B. Czerny
We study the extensively monitored Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548 and compare its nuclear emission with models of accretion disk with accreting corona. To obtain the intrinsic nuclear spe…
