Explore how X-ray corona outflows generate millimeter emission in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei through this 22-minute conference talk by Amelia Hankla from the University of Maryland. Examine the complex plasma processes occurring around supermassive black holes and understand the mechanisms behind millimeter-wavelength radiation in AGN that typically don't exhibit strong radio emission. Learn about the theoretical framework connecting high-energy X-ray phenomena with longer-wavelength observations, and discover how corona dynamics contribute to the multi-wavelength emission properties of these enigmatic astrophysical objects. Gain insights into the extreme plasma physics operating near black hole event horizons, where relativistic effects, magnetic reconnection, and radiative processes create the conditions necessary for diverse electromagnetic emissions across the spectrum.
