Radial temperature profile of the “torus” in Circinus based on 13 extracted apertures. Measurements along the disk-like structure in the center of image are marked with squares; measurements in the polar extensions are marked with diamonds. Colors correspond to the apertures given in Fig. 5. B+1987 is the radial profile from Barvainis (1987) and is given as the solid black line. The radial profile arising from simple radiation equilibrium is given as the dashed red line. In both analytic profiles the luminosity of the Circinus accretion disk is assumed to be Lacc = 6 × 109 L⊙. The shaded blue region labeled S+2008 represents the range of temperatures of the dust clumps at each radius in the standard clumpy torus model shown in Schartmann et al. (2008), Fig. 3. The hashed region represents the range of temperatures of dust cells in the disk+hyp model. The boxes/diamonds represent fitted blackbody temperatures in our 13 apertures applied to disk+hyp models based on Stalevski et al. (2019); each box (for disk apertures) or diamond (for polar apertures) center is the median temperature T and the height of each represents the range of temperatures fitted to the disk+hyp models.
