Type 1 AGN Unification
Abstract
Description
The model I recently proposed for the structure of quasars offers to unify the many aspects of Type 1 AGN: emission lines, absorption lines and reflection features. This makes the model heavily overconstrained by observation and readily tested.
Here I first outline the model, and then concentrate on how the model answers objections raised since publication - with many of the tests being reported at this meeting. I then begin to explore how these and future tests can discriminate between this wind model and 3 well-defined alternatives.
