X-ray spectral modelling of the AGN obscuring region in the CDFS: Bayesian model selection and catalogue

X-ray spectral modelling of the AGN obscuring region in the CDFS: Bayesian model selection and catalogue

AGN are known to have complex X-ray spectra that depend on both the properties of the accreting SMBH (e.g. mass, accretion rate) and the distribution of obscuring material in its vicinity ("torus"). Often however, simple and even unphysical models are adopted to represent the X-ray spectra of AGN. In the …
