An Axisymmetric Hydrodynamical Model for the Torus Wind in Active Galactic Nucleus. III. Spectra from Three-Dimensional Radiation Transfer Calculations
We calculate a series of synthetic X-ray spectra from outflows originating from the obscuring torus in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Such modeling includes 2.5-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of an X-ray excited torus wind, including the effects of X-ray heating, ionization, and radiation pressure. Three-dimensional radiation transfer calculations are performed in the three-dimensional Sobolev approximation. Synthetic X-ray line spectra and individual profiles of several strong lines are shown at different inclination angles, observing times, and for different characteristics of the torus. Our calculations show that rich synthetic warm absorber spectra from three-dimensional modeling are typically observed at a larger range of inclinations than was previously inferred from simple analysis of the transmitted spectra. In general, our results are supportive of warm absorber models based on the hypothesis of an X-ray excited funnel flow and are consistent with characteristics of such flows inferred from observations of warm absorbers from Seyfert 1 galaxies.
