Off-Axis Variability of AGNs: A New Paradigm for Broad Lines and Continuum Emitting Regions

The general picture of how thermal AGNs work has become clearer in recent years but major observational puzzles threaten to undermine this picture. These puzzles include AGNs with extremely asymmetric emission line profiles, inconsistent multi-wavelength variability, rapid apparent changes in the si...
