Considering that the formation of the proper ions is due to photoionization (i.e. the value of x = L /nr2 can be inferred, measurements of their velocities vcan be used to obtain the mass loss rate of the wind 10/28/2010 SEAL@GSFC

Summary MHD disk-winds provide a promising unified account of the entire absorber phenomenology. This can serve a basic benchmark for further development and refinenent. • Key ingredients mdot (overall column normalization) SED (G, mainly aOX) q(Inclination angle) (these are not all independent parameters – correlation of L- aOX ) • The model implies that AGN are multiscale objects, governed (basically) by magnetic forces. • An instrument with higher throughput and resolution would be able to probe also the detailed velocity structure of these features and their variability to provide the density – velocity structure of the entire AGN flow. 10/28/2010 SEAL@GSFC
