Feedback is a key element of galaxy evolution, and the accretion of gas onto a central supermassive black hole (SMBH) is an important source of feedback. Modelling the energy released as an optically thick wind (with speed vw) allows observable relat... Read More about Dynamics of outflows driven by winds from supermassive black holes.

X-ray spectral variability of disk winds in a sample of local active galactic nuclei (2019)
Thesis

In this thesis I will present the culmination of my research into the phenomenon of AGN winds using several X-ray telescopes (Suzaku, XMM-Newton and NuSTAR); I will do this primarily through the use of radiative transfer models (Sim et al. 2010). I w... Read More about X-ray spectral variability of disk winds in a sample of local active galactic nuclei.
