The Compton-thick AGN in the CDFN
We present X-ray spectral analysis of the brightest sources (f2−10 keV > 10 −15 erg cm s ) in the Chandra Deep Field North. Our sample consists of 222 sources; for the vast majority (171) either a spectroscopic or a photometric redshift is available. Our goal is to discover the Compton-thick AGN in a direct way i.e. through their X-ray spectra. Compton-thick AGN give away their presence in X-ra...
متن کاملX - ray fluorescent lines from the Compton - thick AGN in M 51
The cold disc/torus gas surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGN) emits fluorescent lines when irradiated by hard X-ray photons. The fluorescent lines of elements other than Fe and Ni are rarely detected due to their relative faintness. We report the detection of Kα lines of neutral Si, S, Ar, Ca, Cr, and Mn, along with the prominent Fe Kα, Fe Kβ, and Ni Kα lines, from the deep Chandra observati...
متن کاملCompton Observatory Observations of Agn
The principal results on active galactic nuclei from the Phase 1 observations by the COMPTON Gamma Ray Observatory are presented. These include the detection of a new class of high-energy gamma ray sources by the EGRET instrument and extensive observations of Seyfert galaxies in low-energy gamma rays by OSSE. The identified EGRET sources are associated with core-dominated radio loud objects, OV...
متن کاملThe Space Density of Compton Thick Agn and the X-ray Background
We constrain the number density and evolution of Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). In the local Universe we use the wide area surveys from the Swift and INTEGRAL satellites, while for high redshifts we explore candidate selections based on a combination of X-ray and mid-IR parameters. We find a significantly lower space density of Compton-thick AGN in the local Universe than expected ...
متن کاملIC 3639—A NEW BONA FIDE COMPTON-THICK AGN UNVEILED BY NuSTAR
We analyse high-quality NuSTAR observations of the local (z =0.011) Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) IC 3639, in conjunction with archival Suzaku and Chandra data. This provides the first broadband X-ray spectral analysis of the source, spanning nearly two decades in energy (0.5 – 30 keV). Previous X-ray observations of the source below 10keV indicated strong reflection/obscuration on th...
