Scientific paper

A model is presented which assumes the existence of cold dense clouds near the central engine of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The effects of such clouds on the observed spectrum are explored. It is shown that this model is consistent with the complicated observed spectra and variability behavior of most extensively studied Seyfert nuclei. The results are compared with other proposed models. The existing observational evidence appears to support the 'cloud-model'.
