The dusty tori of nearby QSOs as constrained by high-resolution mid-IR observations

We present mid-infrared (MIR; 7.5-13.5 μm) imaging and spectroscopy observations obtained with the CanariCam (CC) instrument on the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS for a sample of 20 nearby, MIR bright and X-ray luminous quasi-stellar objects (QSOs).We find that for the majority of QSOs the MIR emis...
