Scientific paper

A mechanism for creating and maintaining strong anisotropy in the phase space distribution of radiating particles in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is proposed. The resulting particle distribution is shown to provide natural explanations for the high brightness temperatures, superluminal velocities and spectral features of various classes of AGN, without recourse to relativistic beaming.
