FITTING LINER NUCLEI WITHIN THE ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS FAMILY: A MATTER OF OBSCURATION?
FITTING LINER NUCLEI WITHIN THE ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS FAMILY: A MATTER OF OBSCURATION?
In this paper we study the nuclear obscuration of galaxies hosting LINERs based on their X-ray and optical emission. They show column densities (N_H) at soft energies (0.5-2 keV) mostly related to the diffuse emission around the AGN, showing a correlation with the optical extinction. N_H at hard energies (2-10 …
