Active Galactic Nuclei as High Energy Engines
Active Galactic Nuclei are considered as possible sites of cosmic ray acceleration and some of them have been observed as high energy gamma ray emitters (Blazars). There naturally comes an appealing idea that the acceleration of the highest energy cosmic rays in the AGNs has a signature in the form of gamma ray emission and high energy neutrino emission through the collisions of very high energ...
متن کاملVariability of Active Galactic Nuclei
Continuum and emission-line variability of active galactic nuclei provides a powerful probe of microarcsecond scale structures in the central regions of these sources. In this contribution, we review basic concepts and methodologies used in analyzing AGN variability. We develop from first principles the basics of reverberation mapping, and pay special attention to emission-line transfer functio...
متن کاملIntraday Radio Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei
Rapid flux density variations on timescales of the order of a day or less (Intraday Variability, IDV) in the radio regime are a common phenomenon within the blazar class. Observations with the 100m telescope of the MPIfR showed that the variations occur not only in total intensity, but also in the polarized intensity and in polarization angle. Here we present an overview of our IDV-observations...
متن کاملOptical Variability of Active Galactic Nuclei
Variability studies of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) typically use either power spectral density (PSD) and structure function (SF) analyses or direct modeling of light curves with the damped random walk (DRW) and the continuous autoregressive moving average (CARMA) models. A fair fraction of research publications on the subject are flawed, and simply report incorrect results, because they lack ...
متن کاملActive Galactic Nuclei as High-Energy Neutrino Sources
Active galactic nuclei (AGN), which are powered by accretion of mass onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the center of their host galaxies and/or the rotational energy of SMBHs, are the most luminous persistent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the Universe. They have also been of interest as powerful high-energy cosmic-ray accelerators (CRs), including ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (...
