Abstract
Since many years we know that dust in the form of the dusty-molecular torus
is responsible for the obscuration in active galactic nuclei (AGN) at large
viewing angles and thus for the classification of AGN. Recently, we gained some
observational and theoretical insight into geometry of the region and the role
of the dust in the dynamics of the outflow and failed winds. We will briefly
touch on all these aspects, including our dust-based model (FRADO - Failed
Radiatively Accelerated Dusty Outflow) of the formation of the Balmer lines in
AGN.
