摘要:

我们的目标是了解2XMM J123204+215255的多波长特性,该源在从2XMMp目录与SDSS-DR 5目录的互相关中绘制的明亮X射线选择EXO样本中具有最极端的X射线与光通量比。我们使用2XMMp X射线数据,SDSS-DR 5,NOT和UKIRT光学/NIR光度数据和斯巴鲁MOIRCS IR光谱来研究2XMM J123204+215255的性质。我们创建了一个模型SED包括一个模糊的类星体和宿主星系组件,以限制光学/红外消光和AGN和星系的相对贡献的总发射。2XMM J123204+215255是具有f_X~10^{-12} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}(2-10 keV能带)的明亮X射线源,其在低至i' > 25.2的星等下没有检测。近红外成像显示了一个微弱的K波段对应物,近红外光谱显示了一条宽(FWHM=5300 km/s)的发射线,几乎可以肯定是z=1.87的H-α。X射线光谱显示出明显的吸收(N_H > 10^{23} cm^{-2}),这是典型的2型活动星系核,但宽的H-α辐射表明活动星系核属于1型活动星系核。然而,非常红的光学/NIR颜色(i '-K > 5.3)强烈地表明显著的变红。我们发现,简单的模型可以成功地再现近红外连续谱,并将核内禀光学/红外消光系数严格限制在A_V~4,这比X射线吸收的预期值(假设银河系气尘比)要小得多。

英文摘要:

We aim to understand the multi-wavelength properties of 2XMM J123204+215255, the source with the most extreme X-ray-to-optical flux ratio amongst a sample of bright X-ray selected EXOs drawn from a cross-correlation of the 2XMMp catalogue with the SDSS-DR5 catalogue. We use 2XMMp X-ray data, SDSS-DR5, NOT and UKIRT optical/NIR photometric data and Subaru MOIRCS IR spectroscopy to study the properties of 2XMM J123204+215255. We created a model SED including an obscured QSO and the host galaxy component to constrain the optical/IR extinction and the relative contribution of the AGN and the galaxy to the total emission. 2XMM J123204+215255 is a bright X-ray source with f_X~10^{-12} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} (2-10 keV energy band) which has no detection down to a magnitude i' > 25.2. NIR imaging reveals a faint K-band counterpart and NIR spectroscopy shows a single broad (FWHM=5300 km/s) emission line, which is almost certainly H-alpha at z=1.87. The X-ray spectrum shows evidence of significant absorption (N_H > 10^{23} cm^{-2}), typical of type 2 AGN, but the broad H-alpha emission suggests a type 1 AGN classification. The very red optical/NIR colours (i'-K > 5.3) strongly suggest significant reddening however. We find that simple modelling can successfully reproduce the NIR continuum and strongly constrain the intrinsic nuclear optical/IR extinction to A_V~4, which turns out to be much smaller than the expected from the X-ray absorption (assuming Galactic gas-to-dust ratio).
