The physically motivated X-ray torus models, used in this work. Left: The image shows the cross-section view of the borus02 geometry, adopted from Baloković et al. (2018), featuring a uniform spherical shape with biconical cuts along the poles. This can be made into an approximation of a clumpy medium by decoupling the LOS column density and the average column density derived from the reflection medium. The inclination angle (θinc or θi) and the covering factor (derived from θtor) is measured from the vertical axis. Middle: The UXCLUMPY model, from Buchner et al. (2019), consists of cloud clumps dispersed within a spherical geometry, including a component of Compton-thick clouds along the equatorial plane. The image shows a 2D projection of the clouds onto the sky. Right: The cross-section view of the XClumpy model, assuming spherical clumps distributed according to a powerlaw along the radial direction and a Gaussian distribution along the vertical axis. This figure is adopted from Tanimoto et al. (2019), showing θ as the inclination angle measured from the vertical axis and σ as the torus angular width measured from the horizontal axis.
