A broadband X-ray study of a sample of AGNs with [OIII] measured inclinations
Abstract
The torus is the most important piece of the AGN unified model and may be the reservoir of gas, which feeds the accretion disk and the supermassive black hole. X-ray studies of AGNs allow us to probe this toroidal structure. In modeling the X-ray spectra of AGNs, the inclination angle is a parameter that can play an important role in understanding the X-ray spectra of AGNs, but it has never been studied in detail. Here, I will present a joint NuSTAR and XMM-newton broadband X-ray study on the role of the inclination in spectral analysis from an [OIII] selected sample of AGNs as well as the better constrained geometrical properties of the obscuring toroidal structure in the selected AGNs, which allows us to have a better understanding of the physical mechanism of this toroidal structure.
