Abstract

The Unified Model (UM) suggests that different AGN classes are due to the presence of a torus, which under different view angles can obscure the supermassive black hole and the broad line region. We analyze statistically the physical parameters of a sample of about 100 Seyfert galaxies using public data from Spitzer telescope in the mid infrared (5.2-38 μ m) in order to verify the UM. We compare the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with ∼ 10^{6} theoretical SEDs which consider that the torus is formed by dusty clouds and present the results for 8 CLUMPY parameters.
