Unabsorbed Seyfert 2 galaxies : the case of “ naked ” AGN ⋆
Hawkins (2004) reported on a class of “naked” AGN characterized by strong amplitude optical brightness variability and the complete absence of broad emission lines in the optical spectrum. The variability suggests that the nucleus is seen directly, however the absence of broad lines contradicts the simple formulation of Unified Models for AGN. We present the results of quasi-simultaneous spectr...
متن کاملThe 2–10 keV unabsorbed luminosity function of AGN from the LSS, CDFS, and COSMOS surveys
The XMM-Large scale structure (XMM-LSS), XMM-Cosmological evolution survey (XMM-COSMOS), and XMM-Chandra deep field south (XMM-CDFS) surveys are complementary in terms of sky coverage and depth. Together, they form a clean sample with the least possible variance in instrument effective areas and point spread function. Therefore this is one of the best samples available to determine the 2–10 keV...
متن کاملCompton reflection in AGN with Simbol-X
AGN exhibit complex hard X-ray spectra. Our current understanding is that the emission is dominated by inverse Compton processes which take place in the corona above the accretion disk, and that absorption and reflection in a distant absorber play a major role. These processes can be directly observed through the shape of the continuum, the Compton reflection hump around 30 keV, and the iron fl...
متن کاملAn X-ray view of absorbed INTEGRAL AGN
Aims. We present a 0.2–200 keV broad-band study of absorbed AGN observed with INTEGRAL, XMM-Newton, Chandra and ASCA to investigate the continuum shape and the absorbing/reflecting medium properties. Methods. The sources are selected in the INTEGRAL AGN sample to have a 20–100 keV flux below 8×10 erg cm s (5 mCrab), and are characterized by a 2–10 keV flux in the range (0.8–10)×10 erg cm s. The...
متن کاملCompton reflection and iron fluorescence in AGN and GBHCs
Any cold, optically-thick matter in the vicinity of an accreting black hole, such as the accretion disk, can intercept and reprocess some fraction of the hard X-ray continuum emission, thereby imprinting atomic features into the observed spectrum. This process of ‘X-ray reflection’ primarily gives rise to a broad reflection ‘hump’ peaking at ∼ 30 keV and an iron emission line at 6.4 keV. In thi...
