26 What have we learned? Mid-infrared X-ray correlation is a powerful tool Mid-infrared emission of AGN dominated by polar dust emission (instead of torus) Radiative transfer modelling of dust structure proves that this scenario can work Circinus: MIR morphology explained but requires detailed modelling Stalevski, Asmus and Tristram, in prep.
