The role of Active Galactic Nuclei in galaxy evolution: insights from space ultraviolet spectropolarimetry
Résumé
Although the global properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) seem today rather understood, the details of AGN physics and the impact of AGN on galaxy evolution are still poorly constrained. We describe how a space telescope with a large collecting area able to provide UV spectropolarimetry can help us make great progress in this area.
