Scientific paper

The properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are discussed in terms of a new supercritical wind model. A supercritical wind from a central source is decelerated in a shock at a distance of about one light-year from the center. This wind-shock model explains satisfactorily the overall spectrum of AGNs in the frequency range 100 MHz to 10 to the 19th GHz, the specific order of the fluctuation time scales as well as the formation of the broad-line-emitting clouds.
