Active galactic nuclei (AGN) make the most significant contribution to the overall energy balance in the Universe in all electromagnetic bands not dominated by the cosmic microwave background. A good understanding of physical processes and phenomena driving this contribution is paramount for addressing the key challenges in astrophysics and cosmology, including accretion onto black holes, electromagnetic fields, and shock waves in relativistic plasma.
In this talk, Yuri Kovalev (MPIfR, Bonn) will present recent results from several studies that probe key aspects of AGN physics.
