A Structure for Quasars

Quasar Energy Distributions

21cm HI Map of the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP)

A model which combines all the main spectral features of AGN/quasars into a single structure. The structure is formed by an accretion disk wind. (Elvis M. 2000, Astrophysical Journal, 545, 63 (Dec 10) (astro-ph/0008064))
Quick Summary of Model
