10. Blazars Subtype of AGN that jet points to observerSubtype of AGN that jet points to observer Emit large amounts of radio to gamma.Emit large amounts of radio to gamma.

11. Literature Review: Project Techniques Gorijan et al create Color Magnitude Diagrams of AGN to analyze new data. Johnson et al studied chemical compositions of the winds inside of AGNs

12. Literature Review: Project Ideas Etchencamp et a in 2006 studied AGNs in Starburst galaxies as well as Radio Galaxies by analyzing spectra. Croton et al simulated lifecycles and growth of AGNs over time using archival data to thoroughly study each object
