The X-ray and mid-IR emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are strongly correlated. However, while various published parameterizations of this correlation are consistent with the low-redshift, local Seyfert galaxy population,…
Context: We investigate mid-infrared and X-ray properties of the dusty torus in unification scenarios for active galactic nuclei. Aims: We use the relation between mid IR and hard X-ray luminosities to constrain AGN unification scenarios.…
We propose the rest-frame 2-10 keV photon index, \ga, acting as an indicator of the bolometric correction, \lb/$L_{\rm 2-10keV}$ (where \lb~ is the bolometric luminosity and $L_{\rm 2-10keV}$ is the rest-frame 2-10 keV luminosity), in…

The supermassive black holes ($M_{\rm BH} \sim 10^{6}$$-$$10^{10}~M_\odot$) that power luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs), i.e., quasars, generally show a correlation between thermal disk emission in the ultraviolet (UV) and coronal…

It is known that the IR and X-ray luminosities of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are correlated with L_{IR} ~ L_{X}. Moreover, the IR flux ratio between the 5.8 and 3.6 \mu m bands is a good distinguishing characteristic of AGN or AGN-like…
