摘要:

我们提出的第一个结果的光谱遥远的,模糊AGN的超深(~3.3 Ms)XMM-牛顿调查在钱德拉深场南(CDFS)。该项目的主要目标之一是在与X射线背景贡献相关的红移和光度范围内,表征被遮蔽和严重遮蔽的康普顿厚度活动星系核的X射线光谱特性。超深曝光,再加上XMM探测器的光谱吞吐量,使我们能够积累大量的X射线源,特别是在宇宙学红移严重模糊AGN质量良好的X射线光谱。具体来说,我们提出了两个高红移- z= 1.53和z=3.70 -源的X射线光谱特性。两者的XMM光谱都很硬,在6.4 keV的静止帧能量下具有强的铁K α线。反射主导的连续谱提供了对z=1.53源的X射线谱的最佳描述,而z=3.70活动星系核的内禀连续谱被一个大的冷气体柱N_H ~ 10^24 cm-2所掩盖。在这两个源中都明确地检测到了康普顿厚吸收或接近康普顿厚吸收。有趣的是,这些来源不会被选为候选康普顿厚活动星系核的一些多波长选择标准的基础上,中红外线,光学和X射线,光通量比。

英文摘要:

We present the first results of the spectroscopy of distant, obscured AGN as obtained with the ultra-deep (~3.3 Ms) XMM-Newton survey in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). One of the primary goals of the project is to characterize the X-ray spectral properties of obscured and heavily obscured Compton-thick AGN over the range of redhifts and luminosities that are relevant in terms of their contribution to the X-ray background. The ultra-deep exposure, coupled with the XMM detector's spectral throughput, allowed us to accumulate good quality X-ray spectra for a large number of X-ray sources and, in particular, for heavily obscured AGN at cosmological redshifts. Specifically we present the X-ray spectral properties of two high-redshift - z= 1.53 and z=3.70 - sources. The XMM spectra of both are very hard, with a strong iron Kalpha line at a rest-frame energy of 6.4 keV. A reflection-dominated continuum provides the best description of the X-ray spectrum of the z=1.53 source, while the intrinsic continuum of the z=3.70 AGN is obscured by a large column N_H ~ 10^24 cm-2 of cold gas. Compton-thick absorption, or close to it, is unambiguously detected in both sources. Interestingly, these sources would not be selected as candidate Compton thick AGN by some multiwavelength selection criteria based on the mid-infrared to optical and X-ray to optical flux ratios.
