摘要:

我们目前的结果上的搜索严重模糊的活动星系z>1.7使用的休息框架9-20 keV的X射线源在深XMM-CDFS调查检测过剩。在Ranalli等人的第一个源目录中,用保守检测标准(>8 σ)选择了176个源,46个天体位于感兴趣的红移范围内,中值红移z~2.5。它们在10-20 keV静止坐标系中的典型光度为1 e +44 erg/s。在没有光谱红移的光学昏暗天体中,有四个被发现是强烈吸收的X射线源,它们的X射线光谱中增强的铁钾发射或吸收特征被用来获得X射线光谱红移。使用基于3-5 keV、5-9 keV和9-20 keV波段的X射线色图,选择了7个9-20 keV过量的天体,发现它们是强吸收的X射线源,柱密度大于0.6e+24 cm-2,包括两个可能的康普顿厚源。当它们以类星体的光度发射时,发现约3/4的样本物体被nH > 1 e +22 cm-2吸收。在匹配的光度与本地活动星系核的比较表明,高光度活动星系核的吸收源部分向高红移的趋势增加。

英文摘要:

We present results on a search of heavily obscured active galaxies z>1.7 using the rest-frame 9-20 keV excess for X-ray sources detected in the deep XMM-CDFS survey. Out of 176 sources selected with the conservative detection criteria (>8 sigma) in the first source catalogue of Ranalli et al., 46 objects lie in the redshift range of interest with the median redshift z~2.5. Their typical rest-frame 10-20 keV luminosity is 1e+44 erg/s, as observed. Among optically faint objects that lack spectroscopic redshift, four were found to be strongly absorbed X-ray sources, and the enhanced Fe K emission or absorption features in their X-ray spectra were used to obtain X-ray spectroscopic redshifts. Using the X-ray colour-colour diagram based on the rest-frame 3-5 keV, 5-9 keV, and 9-20 keV bands, seven objects were selected for their 9-20 keV excess and were found to be strongly absorbed X-ray sources with column density of nH > 0.6e+24 cm-2, including two possible Compton thick sources. While they are emitting at quasar luminosity, ~3/4 of the sample objects are found to be absorbed by nH > 1e+22 cm-2. A comparison with local AGN at the matched luminosity suggests an increasing trend of the absorbed source fraction for high-luminosity AGN towards high redshifts.
