Radiation Pressure Confinement - I. Ionized Gas in the ISM of AGN Hosts
Jonathan Stern, Ari Laor, Alexei Baskin
We analyze the hydrostatic effect of AGN radiation pressure on optically thick gas in the host galaxy. We show that in luminous AGN, the radiation pressure likely confines the ioni…

Radiation pressure confinement - II. Application to the broad line region in active galactic nuclei
Alexei Baskin, Ari Laor, Jonathan Stern
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are characterized by similar broad emission lines properties at all luminosities (- erg s). What produces this similarity over…
