The contribution of the obscuring torus to the X-ray spectrum of Seyfert galaxies: a test for the unification model
The presence of an obscuring torus around the nucleus of a Seyfert galaxy, as supposed in the popular unification scheme, can strongly modify the X-ray spectrum for both type 1 and type 2 Seyfert galaxies. We study this problem by means of Monte Carlo simulations, finding that, if the torus …
