Nuclear Activity in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time: Proceedings of the 356th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union Held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (IAU Symposium Proceedings) - Hardcover

Nuclear Activity in Galaxies Across Cosmic Time (Iau S356)

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - IAU Symposium 356 summarises the most recent results in the field of active galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These are some of the most luminous sources in the Universe, also the most distant ones that we can observe, so they are very important for understanding the early Universe and its evolution through cosmic time. This volume gives an overview of the current status in the field of active galaxies including: AGN multiwavelength observations; different AGN types and their properties; AGN variability; active supermassive black holes and properties of galaxies in which they reside; triggering, feedback and shutting off AGN activity; relativistic jets and environments of active galaxies; and AGN evolution. IAU S356 was the third IAU symposium organised in Africa in the past 100 years since the IAU was established, and the first one organised in Ethiopia, highlighting current developments in astronomical research in Africa.
