摘要:

根据最新的宇宙X射线背景综合模型,康普顿厚活动星系核应占总吸收活动星系核的50%左右。然而,尽管它们在宇宙学背景下的重要性,只有几十个康普顿厚AGN已被发现和研究至今。我们将简要回顾这一主题,并讨论Simbol-X任务在这一领域的改进,其灵敏度(E>10 keV)比以前的X射线任务提高了500倍以上。

英文摘要:

According to the latest versions of synthesis modeling of the Cosmic X-ray Background, Compton Thick AGN should represent ~50% of the total absorbed AGN population. However, despite their importance in the cosmological context, only a few dozens of Compton Thick AGN have been found and studied so far. We will briefly review this topic and discuss the improvement in this field offered by the Simbol-X mission with its leap in sensitivity (E>10 keV) of more than a factor 500 with respect to previous X-ray missions.
