"Investigating the Dusty Torus of Active Galactic Nuclei Using SOFIA/FORCAST Photometry"
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) posits that all AGN are essentially the same type of object viewed from different lines of sight. Dust in the surrounding toroidal structure absorbs high-energy radiation and re-emits in the infrared (IR). We present new photometric observations at 31.5 micrometers from the 2.5-m Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) using the Faint Object infraRed CAmera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST). Including the 31.5 micrometers photometric point in the spectral energy distribution (SED) modifies our model output for the radial extent of the AGN torus for 10 of 11 objects. Six (60%) show a decrease in radial extent while four (40%) show an increase. We tentatively detect extended 31.5 micrometers emission for the first time in our sample. We used Clumpy torus models to fit the nuclear IR SED and infer trends in the physical characteristics of the AGN torus for the sample. We used previous near- and mid-IR (NIR; MIR) 1-18 micrometers imaging and MIR 7.5-13 micrometers spectroscopic observations of 11 AGN to compute the nuclear SED of each galaxy.
