Active galactic nuclei and blazars, lecture

Slides from a set of lectures about active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and blazars for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and astronomy. Prepared and taught by Prof. Rodrigo Nemmen. The slides give a broad overview of observations and theory of AGN, with some emphasis on jetted AGNs (blazars) and high-energy electromagnetic radiation The following topics are covered:1. Historical perspective2. Black hole physics3. Observed AGN zoo4. The ins of BHs: accretion5. The outs: jets6. BlazarsThis was presented in two lectures with a total duration of 3 hours. I was not able to cover all material available in the slides. Credit for the slides and figures belongs to Rodrigo Nemmen, unless otherwise stated.https://rodrigonemmen.com
