Description
Recent advances in the physics of AGN will be discussed, including the likelihood that the pair thermostat operates and controls the temperature of the corona. Also new high density reflection models now give improved fits to X-ray spectra of AGN with black hole masses below 100 million Msun, enabling the surface density of the disk to be determined.
