    Torus and polar dust dependence on active galactic nucleus properties
    We present a statistical analysis of the properties of the obscuring material around active galactic nuclei (AGN). This study represents the first of its kind...

    Torus model properties of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of Seyfert galaxies
    We characterize for the first time the torus properties of an ultra-hard X-ray (14-195 keV) volume-limited (DL 40 Mpc) sample of 24 Seyfert (Sy) galaxies...

    Toward a clean sample of ultra-luminous X-ray sources
    Context: .Observational follow-up programmes for the characterization of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) require the construction of clean samples of such...

    Toward a global earthshine network: First results from two stations
    Big Bear Solar Observatory is building the world's first global earthshine network to measure Earth's large-scale reflectance. Our first remote station was...
  • Publication
    Toward an Internally Consistent Astronomical Distance Scale
    Accurate astronomical distance determination is crucial for all fields in astrophysics, from Galactic to cosmological scales. Despite, or perhaps because of...
  • Publication
    Toward an Understanding of the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 5252: A Spectroscopic Study
    We present long-slit spectra of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252, covering the nucleus and part of the extranuclear emission-line region. All the regions sampled...
  • Publication
    Toward excluding a light Z<SUP>'</SUP> explanation of b →s ℓ<SUP>+</SUP>ℓ<SUP>-</SUP>
    The discrepancies between b →s ℓ +ℓ - data and the corresponding Standard Model predictions constitute one of the most significant hints for new physics...
  • Publication
    Toward measuring supermassive black hole masses with interferometric observations of the dust continuum
    This work focuses on active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and on the relation between the sizes of the hot dust continuum and the broad-line region (BLR). We find that...
  • Publication
    Toward the uplink correction: application of adaptive optics techniques on free-space optical communications through the atmosphere
    The optical ground station (OGS), installed in the Teide Observatory since 1995, was built as part of ESA efforts in the research field of satellite optical...
