| Abstract: |
All quasar spectra show the same atomic features in the optical, UV, near-IR and
soft X-rays over all of cosmic time, luminosity black hole mass and accretion
rate. This is a puzzle. Here I show that it is possible that all of these
atomic features can be accounted for by gas from an accretion disk driven the
three forms of radiation pressure: electron scattering, line driving and dust
driving. The locations where they successfully drive an escaping wind, and
those where they produce only a failed wind are both needed. |
