Description

In Buchner et al. (in prep) we develop a geometry for the X-ray obscurer of AGN. Its cloud population is consistent with existing CLUMPY (Nenkova+02) infrared models. However, we find that a inner torus ring component is required to fit local Compton-thick AGN.

More information at https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/xars/blob/master/doc/uxclumpy.rst

Our model has two geometry parameter:
1) The opening of the torus, or the vertical extent of the clouds (sigma)
2) The covering of the inner Compton-thick wall.
Further parameters are:
3) Photon index and energy cut-off of the corona
4) Column density in the line of sight (up to 10^26)
5) Viewing angle.

We release XSPEC table spectra here.
