Understanding these objects requires extensive knowledge in many different areas: accretion disks, the physics of dust and ionized gas, astronomical spectroscopy, star formation, and the cosmological evolution of galaxies and black holes. This new text by Hagai Netzer, a renowned astronomer and leader in the field, provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory underpinning our study of AGN and the ways that we observe them. It emphasizes the basic physics underlying AGN, the different types of active galaxies and their various components, and the complex interplay between them and other astronomical objects. Recent developments regarding the evolutionary connections between active galaxies and star-forming galaxies are explained in detail. Both graduate students and researchers will benefit from Netzer's authoritative contributions to this exciting field of research"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888049 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000888049 650_0 $$aActive galactic nuclei. 000888049 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aNetzer, Hagai.$$tPhysics and evolution of active galactic nuclei.$$dCambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2013$$z9781107021518$$w(DLC) 2012047526 000888049 852__ $$bebk 000888049 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1113069$$zOnline Access 000888049 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888049$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888049 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888049 980__ $$aBIB 000888049 982__ $$aEbook 000888049 983__ $$aOnline
