Dusty plasma in active galactic nuclei by Bożena Czerny et al. on Tuesday 22 November

Since many years we know that dust in the form of the dusty-molecular torus

is responsible for the obscuration in active galactic nuclei (AGN) at large

viewing angles and thus for the classification of AGN. Recently, we gained some

observational and theoretical insight into geometry of the region and the role

of the dust in the dynamics of the outflow and failed winds. We will briefly

touch on all these aspects, including our dust-based model (FRADO - Failed

Radiatively Accelerated Dusty Outflow) of the formation of the Balmer lines in

AGN.
