Dusty Torus 0
The 'Dusty Torus' is a theoretical structure composed of gas and dust that surrounds the supermassive black holes at the centers of active galaxies, playing a crucial role in the unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN). It obscures the view of the central region from certain angles, leading to different observational characteristics of AGN, such as Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 galaxies.
