寻找康普顿厚AGN的最新进展

Recent developments in the search for Compton-thick AGN

I. Georgantopoulos

摘要:

我提出了一个康普顿厚的活动星系核(AGN)的X射线和中红外调查的审查。这些都是最高度遮蔽的源,氢柱密度>1.5x10^24 cm-2。在本地宇宙的主要调查,包括高能SWIFT/BAT和INTEGRAL调查,中红外和光学调查。最近,钱德拉和XMM-牛顿的深X射线巡天已经产生了一些候选的康普顿厚的活动星系核在较高的红移主要是在钱德拉深场南部地区。此外,斯皮策的中红外巡天有助于开发新的补充技术来选择康普顿厚度的活动星系核。用于识别康普顿厚度活动星系核的中红外技术包括:a)相对于其光发射的24微米过量源b)用于检测高光学深度Si 9.7微米吸收特征的Spitzer光谱学c)低X射线与6微米光度比。

英文摘要:

I present a review of X-ray and mid-IR surveys for Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). These are the most highly obscured sources having hydrogen column densities >1.5x10^24 cm-2. Key surveys in the local Universe are presented including the high energy SWIFT/BAT and INTEGRAL surveys, mid-IR and also optical surveys. Recently, deep X-ray surveys with Chandra and XMM-Newton have produced a number of candidate Compton-thick AGN at higher redshift primarily in the Chandra Deep Field South region. In addition, mid-IR surveys with Spitzer have helped to develop novel complementary techniques for the selection of Compton-thick AGN. The mid-IR techniques used to identify Compton-thick AGN include: a) 24 micron excess sources relative to their optical emission b) Spitzer spectroscopy for the detection of high optical depth Si 9.7 micron absorption features c) low X-ray to 6 micron luminosity ratio.
