The lack of torus emission from BL Lacertae objects: An infrared view of unification with WISE
We use data from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to perform a statistical study on the mid-infrared (IR) properties of a large number (102) of BL Lac objects - low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with a jet beamed toward the Earth. As expected, many BL Lac objects are so high...
