Euclid preparation. Spectroscopy of active galactic nuclei with NISP

Euclid Collaboration, E. Lusso, S. Fotopoulou +246

The statistical distribution and evolution of key properties (e.g. accretion rate, mass, or spin) of active galactic nuclei (AGN), remain an open debate in astrophysics. The ESA Eu…
