Title: X-ray variability in Active Galactic Nuclei: implications of magnetic flares 
Authors: R. W. Goosmann, B. Czerny, M. Mouchet, V. Karas, M. Dovciak, 
G. Ponti, A. Rozanska, Anne-Marie Dumont 
Topic: 2 
Session: oral 
Abstract: We model the energy-dependent fractional variability amplitude
 of the Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15 using Monte-Carlo simulations of
flare distributions co-rotating with the accretion disk. The observed 
variability across the iron Kalpha line can be reproduced. We also 
investigate time delays between hard and soft X-rays for an individual 
strong flare event. 

Title: STOKES - a Publicly Available Radiative Transfer Code for Polarization
Modeling in the Optical/UV
Authors: R. W. Goosmann, C.-M. Gaskell, M. Shoji
Topic: 6
Session: Poster
Abstract: We introduce a new, publicly available Monte Carlo radiative
transfer code, STOKES, to model polarization induced by scattering off free
electrons and dust grains. It can be used in a wide range of astrophysical
applications. We use STOKES to model the polarization produced by scattering
regions in active galactic nuclei. The code and documentation are freely
available at http://www.stokes-program.info/.
