Structure of the torus of the Active Galactic Nucleus How much do we know about the structure of the torus surrounding the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN)? Is the shape defined or still under speculations? And are there different structures for this torus possible i.e., does it vary from galaxy to galaxy?
This question was asked more roughly 8 years ago, and for 2 years there is a review article around which I found worth mentioning and summarizing. The manuscript is called Redefining the torus:  A unifying view of AGN in the infrared and sub mm and work of Sebastian Florian Hönig. Here an excerpt of the abstract:

The advent of high-angular resolution IR and sub-mm interferometry allows for spatially-resolvedobservations  of  the  parsec-scale  environment  of  active  galactic  nuclei  (AGN),  commonly  referred  toas the “torus.”  While molecular lines show the presence of large, massive disks, the IR observationsappear to be dominated by a strong polar component that has been interpreted.

The main result seems to be the following schematic picture (Fig. 4 of the manuscript) of the AGN which is an overlay of various observations:


The purple ring are observations in the near-IR.
The yellow torus and the gray dashed lines are from ${\rm H}_2$ emission.
The main brownish cone is from mid-IR.
The redish wobbly plane with the red (solid) arrows and the purple (dashed) arrows are sub-mm obseravtions (${\rm CO/HCN/HCO^+}$)
Bright green dots on the $x$-axis are ${\rm H_2 O}$ maser emissions.
