Models of X-ray and gamma-ray emission from Seyfert galaxies
Roland Svensson
Abstract
X-ray and gamma-ray observations of Seyfert 1 galaxies are briefly reviewed. Both thermal and non-thermal model for X-ray and gamma-ray emission are discussed. Particular attention is given to various disc-corona models including both homogeneous and inhomogeneous (patchy) corona models. Recent work on exact radiative transfer in such geometries are reviewed.
