Abstract: Even with large telescope apertures and vast improvements in detector technology, resolving the inner regions of active galaxies remains a formidable challenge. Nevertheless, understanding the innermost regions of these galaxies is critical to understanding the galaxy evolution and the structure and dynamics of matter in the vicinity of a Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH). In this thesis, we have explored indirect methods to further our understanding of the innermost regions in Active galactic nuclei (AGN). More detail here
