AGN polarization models
We present model calculations for the scattered flux and polarization of nuclear radiation having in mind the AGN unification scheme. It is our aim to survey the influence of several model parameters, especially, the influence of the torus. Additionally, we considerably improved present models, for instance by including multiple instead of single scattering. For these purposes, we developed a M...
متن کاملPolarization of AGN Jets
The sensitivity, stability, and uniformity of calibration of the VLBA has revolutionized parsec-scale polarization studies of AGN jets. Not only does polarization probe the magnetic field structures of jets, serving as a hydrodynamic tracer of shocks, bends, and shear, but polarization also probes the medium through which it propagates by encoding the signature of Faraday effects along the line...
متن کاملDusty Plasma Liquids
The dusty plasma liquid formed by micro-meter sized particles negatively charged and suspended in a low pressure discharge background is a good candidate to study the generic spatio-temporal dynamical behaviors at the kinetic level through direct optical video-microscopy, because of the sub-mm interparticle spacing and the slow time scale. In this paper, starting from the basic picture of the a...
متن کاملAGN polarization modeling with STOKES
We introduce a new, publicly available Monte Carlo radiative transfer code, Stokes, which has been developed to model polarization induced by scattering off free electrons and dust grains. It can be used in a wide range of astrophysical applications. Here, we apply it to model the polarization produced by the equatorial obscuring and scattering tori assumed to exist in active galactic nuclei (A...
متن کاملInfrared emission from the dusty veil around AGN
We discuss consequences of the concept of a clumpy and dusty torus around AGN. Cloud-cloud collisions lead to an effective viscosity and a geometrically thick accretion disk, which has the required properties of a torus. A quantitative comparison of radiative transfer calculations for dust re-emission from the torus with NIR images, longbaseline visibilities and spectral energy distributions fo...
