pAGN: the one-stop solution for AGN disc modeling

Understand

Models of accretion discs surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGNs) find vast applications in high-energy astrophysics.

• The broad strategy is to parametrize some of the key disc properties such as gas density and temperature as a function of the radial coordinate from a given set of assumptions on the underlying physics.
• Two of the most popular approaches in this context were presented by Sirko & Goodman (2003) and Thompson et al.
• (2005).
