Dual Role of Accretion Disk Winds as X-Ray Obscurers and UV Line Absorbers in AGN
X-ray obscuration of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is considered in the context of ionized winds of stratified structure launched from accretion disks. We argue that a Compton-thick layer of a large-scale disk wind can obscure continuum X-rays and also lead to broad UV absorption, such as in the blu...
