The central region of an active galaxy within which exceptionally large amounts of energy are being generated. An active galactic nucleus (AGN) emits strongly over a wide range of wavelengths, from x-ray to radio, the most powerful examples radiating a thousand times as much energy as the galaxies within which they are embedded. Typical luminosities range from about 1037 to 1039 or even 1040 watt...
