    Accretion tori and cones of ionizing radiation in Seyfert galaxies

    The photoionization of extended narrow-line regions in Seyfert galaxies by the radiation produced in a thick accretion disk is studied. The emission-line...

    Active galactic nuclei and nuclear starbursts.

    The Starburst model for radio-quiet Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) postulates that the activity seen in most AGN is powered solely by young stars and compact...

    Adaptive Optics Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei: Zooming into the Central Parsec Region

    First results from the AGN-Heidelberg program aimed at resolving the central pc region of the closest Active Galactic Nuclei in the IR are presented. The core...

    An idealized model for dust accretion in active galactic nuclei

    With an adequate supply of matter, the inward drifting of dust particles induced by the Poynting-Robertson effect can lead to the formation of a shell or disk...

    An optical fiber system to perform bidimensional spectroscopy

    This article describes a fiber optic system contrived to perform spectral imaging of extended objects. It consists of two fiber bundles mounted simultaneously...

    Are the extended narrow line regions in AGN photoionized by the emission from thick accretion disks?

    We study the photoionization of the Extended Narrow Line Region (ENLR) using three anisotropic radiation fields: (1) a geometrically thick accretion disk; (2) a...

    BASS. XXIX. The Near-infrared View of the Broad-line Region (BLR): The Effects of Obscuration in BLR Characterization

    Virial black hole (BH) mass (M BH) determination directly involves knowing the broad-line region (BLR) clouds' velocity distribution, their distance from the...

    BASS. XXV. DR2 Broad-line-based Black Hole Mass Estimates and Biases from Obscuration

    We present measurements of broad emission lines and virial estimates of supermassive black hole masses (M BH) for a large sample of ultrahard X-ray-selected...
