Santos Lleó Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Accretion rays: galaxies accretion disks galaxies: active galaxies: nuclei We present the results on an XMM-Newton systematic analysis of a sample of nine Seyfert 1 galaxies. Whenobserved in polarised light, the spectra of the selected sources are similar to those of Seyfert 2 galaxies.This peculiarity strongly suggests that these AGN are viewed with an inclination comparable with the torusopening angle. Our results are consistent with this scenario and, taking advantage of this favourable geometrical condition, we are able to investigate in detail the physical properties and the distribution of the circumnuclear gas in these sources. 2008 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57103246 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.32 |
