Extended Hard X-Ray Emission in Highly Obscured AGNs

Kiloparsec-scale hard (>3 keV) X-ray continuum and fluorescent Fe K α line emission has been recently discovered in nearby Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGNs), which opens new opportunities to improve AGN torus modeling and investigate how the central supermassive black hole interact...
