The Ultraviolet-X-ray connection in AGN outflows

Abstract

In this paper I review the recent progress in understanding the physics of the gas outflowing from active galactic nuclei and its impact on the surrounding environment, using the combined information provided by multiwavelength Ultraviolet-X-ray campaigns.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures.
