abstract

The main objective of this work is to establish and interpret the dominant spectral components and their differences in radio-loud (RL) and radio-quiet (RQ) AGN with very massive black holes, and accreting at moderate rates. Such a sample is selected from the \textit{Swift}/BAT catalogue of AGN having determined optical spectra types and hosting black holes with masses $\rm > 10^{8.5}\,M_{\odot}$. We confirm our previous results, that radio loudness distribution of \textit{Swift}/BAT AGN is bimodal and that radio galaxies are about two times X-ray louder than their radio-quiet counterparts. We show that the average X-ray loudness (defined as a ratio of luminosity in the $14-195$ keV band to that at 12 $\mu$m) of Type 1 and Type 2 AGN is very similar. This similarity holds for both RL and RQ subsamples and indicates negligible dependence of the observed X-ray luminosities on the inclination angle in both populations. In both the radiative output is dominated by mid-IR and hard X-ray components, and relatively weak UV luminosities indicate large amounts of dust in polar regions.

    A revised ADAF-collapse model, with the transition radius estimated from optical flux changes, yields cooling timescales comparable to the observed sub-year turn-on timescales of two changing-look AGNs.
