AGN Activity in Galaxies

Andrew J. Humphrey

This two-lecture advanced course aims to provide a focused discussion of
several topics related to AGN activity in galaxies, avoiding significant
overlap with the excellent undergraduate/graduate lecture courses already
presented by other colleagues. Main topics to be discussed include:

• Warm gas-phase chemical abundances
• Photoionization modeling of warm-ionized regions
• Evidence for AGN activity in dwarf galaxies
• Lyman-alpha halos at z>2 and associated absorbing shells
