Abstract:The presence of obscuring material (or a dusty 'torus') in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is central to the unification model for AGN. Two models, the multi-population model for radio sources and the receding torus model, are capable of describing observational properties of powerful radio galaxies and radio quasars. Aiming to discriminate between two working models, I study the changes of the half opening angle (or critical angle, θ c ) of the obscuring torus with radio luminosity at 151 MHz, [O III] emission-l… Show more
