Variation in X-ray spectra with absorbing column density log (NH/cm−2), where column density varies from log (NH/cm−2) = 21 (solid lines) to log (NH/cm−2) = 23 (dashed lines) to log (NH/cm−2) = 25 (dotted lines). The components are reflection (blue lines) from the accretion disk, reprocessed emission (purple lines) from the torus, and the sum of all components (green lines). The scattered component is not shown for clarity. Spectral parameters other than absorption are fixed at Γ = 1.96, R = 0.83 for unabsorbed and R = 0.37 for absorbed sources, EC = 200 keV, and fscatt = 1%.
