cds-question@unistra.fractive-galactic-nucleigalaxiesphotometryseyfert-galaxiesx-ray-sourcesinfrared-sourcesWe characterize for the first time the torus properties of an ultra-hard X-ray (14-195keV) volume-limited (D_L_<40Mpc) sample of 24 Seyfert (Sy) galaxies (BCS_40_ sample). The sample was selected from the Swift/BAT nine-month catalogue. We use high angular resolution nuclear infrared (IR) photometry and N-band spectroscopy, the CLUMPY torus models and a Bayesian tool to characterize the properties of the nuclear dust. In the case of the Sy1s, we estimate the accretion disc contribution to the subarcsecond resolution nuclear IR SEDs (~0.4arcsec) which is, on average, 46+/-28, 23+/-13, and 11+/-5 per cent in the J, H, and K bands, respectively. This indicates that the accretion disc templates that assume a steep fall for longer wavelengths than 1{mu}m might underestimate its contribution to the near-IR emission. Using both optical (broad versus narrow lines) and X-ray (unabsorbed versus absorbed) classifications, we compare the global posterior distribution of the torus model parameters. We confirm that Sy2s have larger values of the torus covering factor (C_T_~0.95) than Sy1s (C_T_~0.65) in our volume-limited Seyfert sample. These findings are independent of whether we use an optical or X-ray classification. We find that the torus covering factor remains essentially constant within the errors in our luminosity range and there is no clear dependence with the Eddington ratio. Finally, we find tentative evidence that even an ultra-hard X-ray selection is missing a significant fraction of highly absorbed type 2 sources with very high covering factor tori.2019MNRAS.486.4917Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/486/4917CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/486/4917https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/486/4917http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/486/4917https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/486/4917https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/486/4917http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/486/4917GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/486/4917/table1 (BCS_40_ sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/486/4917/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/486/4917/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/486/4917/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true91.423333-86.6319440.0055555555555555566/4439 8029 10912 10925 10927 21450 25907 27767 28535 29795 34531 36896 38268 38653 40221 40410 42016 43233 43262 43806 46399 46615 46987 470475.9300009619471535e-21 4.414320678087048e-20https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/486/4917?format=asciiX-rayInfrareddefaultJ/MNRAS/486/4917/table1BCS_40_ sampleSimbadSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.ref.urlcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
