Properties of dusty tori in active galactic nuclei - II. Type 2 AGN

Understand

(abridged) This paper is the second part of a work investigating the properties of dusty tori in AGN by means of multi-component SED fitting.

• It focuses on low luminosity, low redshift (z < 0.25) AGN selected among emission line galaxies as well as X-ray, radio and mid-infrared selected type 2 AGN samples from the literature.
• The available multi-band photometry covers the spectral range from the u-band up to 160 um.
• The observed SED of each object is fit to a set of multi-component models comprising a stellar component, a high optical depth torus and cold emission from a starburst (SB).
