Download or read book Multi-Wavelength Continuum Emission of AGN written by International Astronomical Union. Symposium and published by Springer. This book was released on 1994-04-30 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Note: the title actually, but erroneously, shown on the dust jacket, cover, and title page is Multi-Wavelength Continuum Emission of AGN, which is really only the heading of the first section of the volume. Because the correct, but omitted, title subsumes the erroneous title, Book News uses it in order to most accurately establish the reach of the volume.) The proceedings, then, of IAU Symposium No. 159, held in Geneva, Switzerland, August-September 1993, contain almost all of the presentations given at the conference both as posters and as oral invited and contributed papers. They address topics in multi- wavelength continuum emission of AGN; new observations of AGN with specific instruments; variability; correlations between emission components; AGN physics and models; unified schemes and relations with other types of objects; continuum studies; emission processes; x-rays and higher energies; variability; radio emission (maps); line studies; disk structure and emission; and statistical studies and evolution.
