Research ID 8W4K3

Abstract

The influence of the radiation flux from the accretion disk on obscuring tori in active galactic nuclei and the inverse effect of torus gravity on the disk and the position of the region of broad emission lines are considered. It is shown that the latter can affect the values of masses of supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies determined by the reverberation method.
