Quasars feature gas swirling towards a supermassive black hole inhabiting a galactic centre. The disk accretion produces enormous amounts of radiation from optical to ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. Extreme UV (EUV) emission, stemming from the energetic innermost disk regions, has critical implications for the production of broad emission lines in quasars, the origin of the correlation between linewidth and luminosity (or the Baldwin effect) and cosmic reionization.
