Towards a unified structure for AGN and accretion powered sources

We propose that the ensemble of AGN X-ray absorber data can be accounted for in terms of MHD winds launched off their accretion disks. We note in particular, that the winds that fit the absorption features of the Chandra and XMM Seyfert spectra ought to have density profiles ∞ 1/r. Our models can produce 2D winds with the required density profiles and a very steep dependence in the polar angle θ as such they can naturally serve as the "tori" required by the AGN unification. The winds and absorption spectra of our models depend on the dimensionless mass flux rate, m, the disk inclination angle θ and the X-ray content of the spectra, given by the parameter α_OX. However, a relation between α_OX and the AGN luminosity reduces the number of parameters to two. The same dynamical models can account also for the X-ray absorber properties of galactic X-ray Binaries (XRB), once the proper contribution of X-rays to the ionizing spectrum has been taken into account.
