Torus models for obscuration in type 2 AGN
We discuss a clumpy model of obscuring dusty tori around AGN. Cloudcloud collisions lead to an effective viscosity and a geometrically thick accretion disk, which has the required properties of a torus. Accretion in the combined gravitational potential of central black hole and stellar cluster generates free energy, which is dissipated in collisions, and maintains the thickness of the torus. A ...
متن کاملX-ray view of four high–luminosity Swift/BAT AGN: Unveiling obscuration and reflection with Suzaku
Aims. A complete census of obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is necessary to reveal the history of the super massive black hole (SMBH) growth and galaxy evolution in the Universe given the complex feedback processes and the fact that much of this growth occurs in an obscured phase. In this context, hard X-ray surveys and dedicated follow-up observations represent a unique tool for selecting...
متن کاملHeavy obscuration in X–ray weak AGNs
We present observations in the 0.1–100 keV spectral band of 8 Seyfert 2 galaxies, obtained by means of BeppoSAX. These sources were selected according to their [OIII] optical emission line flux, to avoid biases against obscuration on the pc scale. All sources were detected. All of them are weak X–ray emitters, and most of them are characterized by prominent iron lines at 6.4–7 keV (EW> 500 eV) ...
متن کاملExploring X - ray and radio emission of type 1 AGN up to z ∼ 2 . 3
Context. X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is dominated by the accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. The radio luminosity, however, has not such a clear origin except in the most powerful sources where jets are evident. The origin (and even the very existence) of the local bi-modal distribution in radio-loudness is also a debated issue. Aims. By analysing X-ray, optica...
متن کاملNear - infrared and X - ray obscuration to the nucleus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3281 Chris
We present the results of a near-infrared and X-ray study of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3281. Emission from the Seyfert nucleus is detected in both regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing us to infer both the equivalent line of sight hydrogen column density, NH = 71.0 +11.3 −12.3 × 10 26 m and the extinction due to dust, AV = 22 ± 11 magnitudes (90% confidence intervals). We infer a rat...
