Torus Constraints in ANEPD-CXO245: A Compton-thick AGN with Double-Peaked Narrow Lines
Abstract
We report on the torus constraints of the Compton-thick AGN with double-peaked optical narrow line region (NLR) emission lines, ANEPD-CXO245, at z=0.449 in the AKARI NEP Deep Field. The unique infrared data on this field, including those from the nine-band photometry over 2-24 m with the AKARI Infrared Camera (IRC), and the X-ray spectrum from Chandra allow us to constrain torus parameters such as the torus optical depth, X-ray absorbing column, torus angular width () and viewing angle (). We analyze the X-ray spectrum as well as the UV-optical-infrared spectral energy distribution (UOI-SED) with clumpy torus models in X-ray (XCLUMPY; Tanimoto et al. 2019) and infrared (CLUMPY; Nenkova et al. 2008) respectively. From our current data, the constraints on -- from both X-rays and UOI show that the line of sight crosses the torus as expected for a type 2 AGN. We obtain a small X-ray scattering fraction (<0.1%), which suggests narrow torus openings, giving preference to the bi-polar outflow picture of the double-peaked profile. Comparing the optical depth of the torus from the UOI-SED and the absorbing column density from the X-ray spectrum, we find that the gas-to-dust ratio is times larger than the Galactic value.
