Constraining the geometry of the nuclear wind in PDS456 using a novel emission model

Outflows from AGNs are a key ingredient in the framework of feedback and coevolution with the host galaxy. In order to constrain the properties and evaluate the impact of the outflows, it is necessary to model their geometry and kinematics from accretion disk up to galaxy-scales.
WINE (WINd Emission) is a Monte Carlo model to simulate geometry and kinematics, and estimate the associated emission line profiles, from the X-ray up to the infrared. We hereby present its features as well as its application to the Ultra Fast Outflow (UFO) in the quasar PDS456, a rosetta stone for studying nuclear winds. We also illustrate further developments currently undergoing.
