I can't seem to find a definitive explanation of the unified model. This is my understanding so far: The unified model is the theory that all AGN have a black hole at their centre which is fuelled by its surrounding accretion disk, and that differences between AGN o...
Recurring nuclear activity during the life of a galaxy is a requirement of the cosmological simulations in order to limit, by regulating accretion and the amount of gas present, the growth of super-massive black holes (SMBH) and the star formation in massive galaxies [1,2,3]. Different ...
The acceleration mechanism of these outflows in Radio Quiet (RQ) AGN remains unclear and complex. The observational studies of ionized gas outflows have been interpreted in several different ways, i.e., (i) radiatively driven winds from the accretion disk [41,45,46], (ii) radiation pressure...
We review the mechanisms driving the ionized gas outflows in radio-quiet (RQ) AGN. Although it constitutes ∼90% of the AGN population, what drives these outflows in these AGNs remains an open question. High-resolution imaging and integral field unit (IFU) observation is key to spatially ...
