Compton-thick AGN Characterisation in a Multi-wavelength Context: Insights from the 70-Month \textit{SWIFT}/BAT Catalogue

Muhammad Luqman Hakeem Musa, Zamri Zainal Abidin, Masatoshi Imanishi +2

We analyse Compton-thick active galactic nuclei (CT AGNs), a heavily obscured subclass that challenges traditional X-ray diagnostics. Using 243 sources from the 70-Month \textit{SW…

X-ray and CO-Derived Column Densities in AGN: A Study of Obscuration Properties in CTAGN and Non-CTAGN

M. L. H. Musa, Z. Z. Abidin, A. Annuar +1

Obscuration in active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides insights into the material surrounding the central engine. Compton-thick AGN (CTAGN), characterized by a column density of $N_{…

The NuSTAR Local AGN Distribution Survey (NuLANDS) I: Towards a Truly Representative Column Density Distribution in the Local Universe

Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Johannes Buchner +33

Hard X-ray-selected samples of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) provide one of the cleanest views of supermassive black hole accretion, but are biased against objects obscured by Compt…

IC 3639 - A new bona fide Compton thick AGN unveiled by NuSTAR

Peter G. Boorman, P. Gandhi, D. Alexander +19

We analyse high-quality NuSTAR observations of the local (z = 0.011) Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) IC 3639, in conjunction with archival Suzaku and Chandra data. This pro…
