Relativistic Effects on the Observed AGN Luminosity Distribution
Relativistic Effects on the Observed AGN Luminosity Distribution
Abstract Recently, Zhang (2005 ApJ, 618, L79) has proposed a model to account for the well-established effect that the fraction of type-II AGNs is anti-correlated with the observed X-ray luminosity; the model consists of an X-ray emitting accretion disk coaligned to the dusty torus within the standard AGN unification model. …
