Jet and torus orientations in high redshift radio galaxies
2012
We examine the relative orientation of radio jets and dusty t ori surrounding the AGN in powerful radio galaxies at z > 1. The radio core dominance R = P 20 GHz core /P 500 MHz extended serves as an orientation indicator, measuring the ratio bet ween the anisotropic Doppler-beamed core emission and the isotropic lobe emission. Assuming a fix ed cylindrical geometry for the hot, dusty torus, we derive i ts inclination i by fitting optically-thick radiative transfer models to spe ctral energy distributions obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We find a highly significant anti-correlation ( p 1.3.
