ESA Science & Technology - The Central Engine of Active Galactic Nuclei

Start date: 17 Oct 2006
Address: Xi' an Jiaotong University, Xi' an, China

This meeting will focus on the classical components of the central engine of AGNs, namely the black hole, accretion disk, jet, outflow/wind, absorbers, broad-line region, torus, and narrow-line region, along with topics related to dust grains and stellar processes in galactic nuclei. Whenever possible it is attempted to address the physical properties of these components, and their associated physical processes, rather than the phenomenology alone.
