An X-ray spectral model for Compton-thick toroidal reprocessors
An X-ray spectral model for Compton-thick toroidal reprocessors
The central engines of both type 1 and type 2 active galactic nuclei are thought to harbour a toroidal structure that absorbs and reprocesses high-energy photons from the central X-ray source. Unique features in the reprocessed spectra can provide powerful physical constraints on the geometry, column density, element abundances and …
