Abstract

AbstractWe present a series of statistical tests using homogeneous data and measurements for a sample of Seyfert galaxies. These galaxies were selected from mostly isotropic properties, their far infrared fluxes and warm infrared colors, which provide a considerable advantage over the criteria used by most investigators in the past, like ultraviolet excess. Our results provide strong support for a Unified Model in which Seyferts 2’s contain a torus seen more edge-on than in Seyferts l’s and show that previous results showing the opposite were most likely due to selection effects.
