Figure 3: PDS count rates in the 13-200 keV energy band against the column density of a Compton-thick absorber covering the NGC 6251 nucleus, for different values of the scattering fraction f. The shaded area indicates the PDS detection yielded by the BeppoSAX observation of NGC 6251. f is defined by the ratio between the normalizations of the transmitted and the warm scattered components, assuming an optically thin scatterer. |

Figure 6: Radio between the 1 keV and the V-band flux density in: a) NGC 6251 ( filled circle); b) the blazar radio luminosity classes in the unified scenario after Fossati et al. (1998); c) ADAF models applied to a sample of nearby elliptical galaxies (Di Matteo et al. 2000; details in text). In the last case, the error bars on the y-axis represent the rms of the sample values in the corresponding radio luminosity interval. |
