Scientific paper

Standing shocks in the inner regions of accretion disks around active galactic nuclei will modify the disks' spectra. The types of spectral energy distributions that emerge from simple models of this kind are illustrated and compared with observational results. Good fits, particularly in the UV, are found for 1202 + 281 and 2130 + 099. The IR region is reproduced very well when an additional cool disk component of much larger size is added.
