The Geometry of the Infrared and X-ray Obscurer in a Dusty Hyperluminous Quasar

We study the geometry of the AGN obscurer in IRAS 09104+4109, an IR-luminous, radio-intermediate FR-I source at \(z=0.442\), using infrared data from Spitzer and Herschel, X-ray data from Nustar, Swift, Suzaku, and Chandra, and an optical spectrum from Palomar. The infrared data imply a total rest-f...

Description
Summary:We study the geometry of the AGN obscurer in IRAS 09104+4109, an IR-luminous, radio-intermediate FR-I source at \(z=0.442\), using infrared data from Spitzer and Herschel, X-ray data from Nustar, Swift, Suzaku, and Chandra, and an optical spectrum from Palomar. The infrared data imply a total rest-frame 1-1000\(\mu\)m luminosity of \(5.5\times10^{46}\)erg s\(^{-1}\) and require both an AGN torus and starburst model. The AGN torus has an anisotropy-corrected IR luminosity of \(4.9\times10^{46}\)erg s\(^{-1}\), and a viewing angle and half opening angle both of approximately \(36\) degrees from pole-on. The starburst has a star formation rate of \((110\pm34)\)M\(_{\odot}\) yr\(^{-1}\) and an age of \(
