Active Galactic Nuclei and Supermassive Black Holes
Program:
Active Galactic Nuclei at the Half-Century Mark: AGN properties and
taxonomy, fundamental physics of AGNs, AGN structure, AGN luminosity
function and its evolution.
Reverberation Mapping of the Broad-Line Region in AGNs: The broad-line
region, emission-line variability, reverberation mapping principles,
practice, and results, AGN outflows and disk-wind models, the
radius-luminosity relationship.
Supermassive Black Holes and Their Relationships with Their Host Galaxies:
Role of black holes, direct/indirect measurement of AGN black hole masses,
relationships between BH mass and AGN/host properties, limiting
uncertainties and systematics.
