来自光学、中红外和X射线巡天的被遮蔽的类星体群

The obscured quasar population from optical, mid-infrared, and X-ray surveys

C. Vignali, A. Comastri, D. M. Alexander

摘要:

在过去的几年里,光学,中红外和X射线调查已经揭示了大量的候选人模糊AGN,其中包括许多2型类星体,长期以来一直在寻找的“大的”本地塞弗特2星系。然而,尽管目前有大量的多波长数据,一个适当的人口普查和全色视图的模糊活动星系核/类星体人口仍然失踪,主要是由于观测的限制。在这里,我们提供了一个审查最近的结果,对被遮蔽的活动星系核的识别,主要集中在人口的2型类星体选择的光学波段从斯隆数字巡天。

英文摘要:

Over the last few years, optical, mid-infrared and X-ray surveys have brought to light a significant number of candidate obscured AGN and, among them, many Type 2 quasars, the long-sought after "big cousins'' of local Seyfert 2 galaxies. However, despite the large amount of multi-wavelength data currently available, a proper census and a panchromatic view of the obscured AGN/quasar population are still missing, mainly due to observational limitations. Here we provide a review of recent results on the identification of obscured AGN, focusing primarily on the population of Type 2 quasars selected in the optical band from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
