Difference between Active galactic nucleus and Orders of magnitude (temperature)

Active galactic nucleus vs. Orders of magnitude (temperature)

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a compact region at the center of a galaxy that has a much higher than normal luminosity over at least some portion—and possibly all—of the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that the excess luminosity is not produced by stars. Most ordinary human activity takes place at temperatures of this order of magnitude.

Similarities between Active galactic nucleus and Orders of magnitude (temperature)

Active galactic nucleus and Orders of magnitude (temperature) have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Accretion disk, Corona, Electronvolt, Gamma ray, Infrared, Light, Microwave, Quasar, Supermassive black hole, Ultraviolet, X-ray.

Accretion disk

An accretion disk is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.

Corona

A corona (Latin, 'crown') is an aura of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other stars.

Electronvolt

In physics, the electronvolt (symbol eV, also written electron-volt and electron volt) is a unit of energy equal to approximately joules (symbol J).

Gamma ray

A gamma ray or gamma radiation (symbol γ or \gamma), is penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.

Infrared

Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye (although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nm from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions). It is sometimes called infrared light.

Light

Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Microwave

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from one meter to one millimeter; with frequencies between and.

Quasar

A quasar (also known as a QSO or quasi-stellar object) is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN).

Supermassive black hole

A supermassive black hole (SMBH or SBH) is the largest type of black hole, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses, and is found in the centre of almost all currently known massive galaxies.

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.
