The spectral energy distribution will be discussed, pointing out what can be observed in different wavebands. The different physical models are presented together with formula important for the understanding of AGN physics. Furthermore, the authors discuss the AGN with respect to its environment, host galaxy, feedback in galaxies and in clusters of galaxies, variability, etc. and finally the cosmological evolution of the AGN phenomenon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book includes phenomena based on new results in the X-Ray and gamma-ray domain from new telescopes such as Chandra, XMM-Newton, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, and the VHE regime not mentioned so far in AGN books. Those and other new developments as well as simulations of AGN merging events and formations, enabled through latest super-computing capabilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the contents:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe observational picture of AGN\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRadiative processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe central engine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAGN types and unification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAGN through the electromagnetic spectrum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAGN variability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuasars and cosmology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFormation, evolution and the ultimate fate of AGN\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat we do not know (yet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley-VCH\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-09-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9783527410781\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783527410781\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 238.80cm x170.20cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 350\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley-VCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379787690124,"sku":"9783527410781","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783527410781_5af2418e-50ae-4fb0-acec-0457c5a234cc.jpg?v=1755178201","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783527410781","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
