Geometrically thick obscuration by radiation-driven outflow from magnetized tori of active galactic nuclei
Chi-Ho Chan, Julian H. Krolik
Near-Eddington radiation from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has significant dynamical influence on the surrounding dusty gas, plausibly furnishing AGNs with geometrically thick obs…
