| Abstract: |
Jets, paving their way outward through the inner regions of active galaxies, Compton-interact with the radiation from an accretion flow and with the reprocessed/rescattered fraction of that radiation in the broad emision line region and in the dusty environment of the molecular tori. The presence or absence of spectral signatures associated with the radiative effects of these interactions is used to determine the physical parameters and provide constraints on the structure of jets near their bases. |
