AGN Reverberation Mapping: the pc Scale Garden of Massive Black Holes

24 Oct 2016, 08:00 → 26 Oct 2016, 18:00 Asia/Shanghai

Lijiang

Reverberation of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) is delivering information of parsec scale structure of galactic nuclei from black hole accretion disks, broad line regions to the inner edge of dusty torus. Reverberation mapping as a powerful tool is not only for AGN physics, but also for cosmology. The workshop is to discuss in detail various outstanding issues in this area, to highlight recent progress and to plan for the future. The main topics are:

1. BLR RM

2. Torus RM

3. RM for co-evolution

4. RM for cosmology

The workshop welcomes any one who is interested in. Lijiang, hosting a 2.4m telescope heavily engaged for RM campaign, is  famous for its UNESCO Heritage Site, the Old Town of Lijiang, and there are direct flights from Beijing to Lijiang.

Questions should be sent to liuhw@ihep.ac.cn.
