Description
We performed imaging on 49 type 2 Seyfert galaxies in 6 near- and mid-infrared bands (1-10$μ$m). We are separating the contribution of the torus from the host galaxy by radial profile fitting techniques and we will compare the observed spectral energy distributions with theoretical models of torus emission to constrain geometrical and physical parameters.
