Can this be generalized to AGN?

It is all magnetically driven
Please Omer Will you give us back our corona? The

Undressing AGNs
Why is this different from Seyfert 1s (Paulina
Lira)? Can the BLR provide the mysterious screen?

Relativistic disk lines
Tahir Yaqoob 1. 25-50 of all AGNs show
relativistic disk lines - ??? 2. We are trying
hard but so far have not succeeded in measuring
black hole spin

Jane Turner Relativistic narrow lines are common
and VERY strong !

Major questions
Jian-Min Wang

• jet formation/ejection from disk
• are they really connected?
• how to form and quench?
• how to accelerate jets?
• jet fraction of the energy
• output from BH accretion?
• jet formation is BH mass-scale free?
• jet component?
• jet interaction with surrounding photons from
  disk, BLR?

Emission-Line Profiles at Low Flux Levels
Mike Crenshaw

Simple Geometric Model

• r 0.1 pc, ? 45?, vr vlos - 490 km s-1
• Assume v? 0, then v? vT 2100 km s-1 (vT
  10,000 km s-1 also shown)

25
Do we really need that level of
sophistication? (the case of stellar winds)

• Asymmetric UV emission lines
• Symmetric X-ray lines

Owocki et al.
26
More winds

• M. Guainazzi WA is also warm reflector (but 200
  pc large)
• F. Nicastro WA is lt0.1 pc in size
• Goncalves He-like X-ray lines are good wind
  diagnostics

27
Broad Line Region stamp

• Joe Shields
• What is the physical origin of the Baldwin effect
  (29 years is not enough..)
• M. Joly
• What is the origin of the extremely strong FeII
  lines (26 years is not enough ..)

More BLR goodies

• B. Welsh BLR gas is falling in (??)
• I. Strateva double-peaked line profiles
• F. Hamann BLR metallicity goes with BH mass (but
  L/L(Edd) and time dependence)
• The SDSS industry (or what can we learn by
  studying large samples?) - Nagao

Dear Joe, Please review for us the other
sessions Thanks ..
