We present a census of the Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nucleus (AGN) population and the column density () distribution of AGN in our cosmic backyard using a mid-infrared selected AGN sample within 15 Mpc. The column densities are measured from... Read More about The Compton-thick AGN population and the N H distribution of low-mass AGN in our cosmic backyard.
