Torus model properties of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of Seyfert galaxies
Torus model properties of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of Seyfert galaxies
We characterize for the first time the torus properties of an ultra-hard X-ray (14-195 keV) volume-limited (DL<40 Mpc) sample of 24 Seyfert (Sy) galaxies (BCS40 sample). The sample was selected from the Swift/BAT nine month catalog. We use high angular resolution nuclear infrared (IR) photometry and N-band spectroscopy, the CLUMPY …
