Basic Emission Mechanisms
Radio –synchrotron of electrons in the jet
Infrared – thermal emission from the torus
Optical – thermal emission from the diskX-ray-gamma – Inverse Compton

What causes the jets?
Enormous number of jet modelsCurrent most promising ideas extract
energy from the accretion flow via magnetic fieldsExtract energy and angular momentum
though magnetic field anchored in the diskExtract spin energy of the black hole through
magnetic fields threading its horizon

Why are AGNs interesting?
Some of the most spectacular objects in our universe
Black holes could be test beds for quantum gravity
Source of the high-energy cosmic rays?Important for structure formation?
