Scientific paper

We propose to construct models of radiation-driven outflows in Active Galactic Nuclei {AGN}. Our models will use the generalized radiative transfer code PHOENIX to self-consistently compute the line emission and absorption, and the accelerations. We will use a parameterized dynamical model employing magnetic and radiation pressure confinement plus continuity and momentum conservation. We will do a parameter survey, varying the wind footpoint, and the spectral energy distribution, and constrain the results using HST spectra of broad-absorption line quasars and narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. The goal of this phase of our model building is to compute the first accurate accelerations in the context of AGN outflows. Our long term goal is to compute the range of kinetic luminosities possible from AGN outflows, and so determine the potential for radiation-driven quasar outflows to act as a feedback mechanism in models for the coevolution of galaxies and black holes.
