Dust and the ultraviolet energy distribution of quasars
Luc Binette, Christophe Morisset, Sinhue Haro-Corzo
The ultraviolet energy distribution of quasars shows a sharp steepening of the continuum shortward of 1000 A (rest-frame). We describe how we came to consider the possibility that…

The Intergalactic Medium and the Energy Distribution of Quasars
Luc Binette, Mario Rodriguez-Martinez, Isidro Ballinas
The ionizing spectral energy distribution of quasars is known to exhibit a steepening of the distribution short-ward of 1050Å. It has been assumed that this change of power-law ind…

Radiative Acceleration of Coronal Gas in Seyfert Nuclei
L. Binette
The line ratios from coronal gas in Seyferts can be successfully fitted with photoionized clouds of high densities and low volume filling factor. The ionization parameter implied i…
