Physical Conditions in Obscuring Tori and Molecular Accretion Disks, and Are They Really the Same Thing?

Maloney, Philip R.

Original · EN

The nature of the obscuring material in active galactic nuclei is still uncertain. Although some sources, such as Cygnus A, show evidence for a geometrically thick ``torus'' as originally suggested, recent work on the radiation-driven warping instability discovered by Pringle suggests that obscuration by thin, warped disks may play a crucial role in AGN.
