- W2806899245 abstract "According to the unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), a putative dusty torus plays an important role in determining an AGN's external appearance. However, information on the physical properties of the torus is very scarce. We perform detailed decomposition of the infrared (1–500 μm) spectral energy distribution of 76 z < 0.5 Palomar-Green quasars, combining photometric data from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and Herschel with Spitzer spectroscopy. Our fits favor recent torus spectral models that properly treat the different sublimation temperatures of silicates and graphite and consider a polar wind component. The AGN-heated dust emission from the torus contributes a significant fraction (∼70%) of the total infrared (1–1000 μm) luminosity. The torus luminosity correlates well with the strength of the ultraviolet/optical continuum and the broad Hβ emission line, indicating a close link between the central ionization source and re-radiation by the torus. Consistent with the unified model, most quasars have tori that are only mildly inclined along the line of sight. The half-opening angle of the torus, a measure of its covering factor, declines with increasing accretion rate until the Eddington ratio reaches ∼0.5, above which the trend reverses. This behavior likely results from the change of the geometry of the accretion flow, from a standard geometrically thin disk at moderate accretion rates, to a slim disk at high accretion rates." @default.
