Future Directions in AGN Research
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
A review is given of the principal successes in AGN research (black holes as the central engines, radiation mechanisms, population studies) and the most important open questions (creation of AGN, dynamics of the accretion flow, acceleration and collimation of relativistic jets). Some recent work that gives hope for progress towards answering these questions is also discussed.
