Scientific paper

The peculiar conditions of the plasma filling the emission regions of the powerful continuum radiation from active galactic nuclei and quasars are discussed. The plasma is energized by gravitation; it is radiation dominated, out of thermal equilibrium, at least weakly relativistic, and it is likely to comprise a large number of positrons. Specific tenets of plasma physics are called into question.
