چکیده
We present the results of optical spectroscopic identifications of a bright subsample of 2–10 keV hard X-ray selected sources from the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey in the northern sky (AMSSn). The flux limit of the subsample

AGN Populations from Optical Identification of ASCA Surveys
To understand luminous AGNs in the z < 1 universe, the ASCA AGN samples are the best at present. Combining the identified sample of AGNs from ASCA Large Sky Survey and Medium Sensitivity Survey, the sample of hard X-ray selected AGNs have been expanded up to 108 AGNs above the flux limit of 10 erg s cm in the 2–10 keV hard X-ray band. We discuss the fraction of absorbed AGNs in the hard X-ray s...
متن کامل: Results from Optical Identification of ASCA Surveys Masayuki Akiyama
In this paper, results of optical identification of ASCA surveys are summarized. To understand luminous AGNs in the z ≤ 1 universe, the ASCA AGN sample is still better than samples of AGNs from deep Chandra or XMM-Newton surveys. Combining the identified sample of AGNs from ASCA Large Sky Survey and Medium Sensitivity Survey, the sample of hard X-ray selected AGNs have been expanded up to ∼80 A...
متن کاملResults from X-ray Surveys with Asca
We present main results from X-ray surveys performed with ASCA, focusing on the ASCA Large Sky Survey (LSS), the Lockman Hole deep survey, and the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey (AMSS or the GIS catalog project). The Log N Log S relations, spectral properties of sources, and results of optical identification are summarized. We discuss implications of these results for the origin of the CXB.
متن کاملComparison of Cobe Dmr and Rosat All-sky Survey Data
Statistical comparisons of microwave maps in the GHz range and X-ray maps at around 1 keV are an interesting probe to constrain different astrophysical phenomena. Possible correlations on various angular scales and with different frequency (energy) dependences, although not expected at present day experimental sensitivity, could in principle be due to Galactic emission/absorption, the Sunyaev-Z...
متن کاملThe X-ray-to-optical Properties of Optically-selected Active Galaxies over Wide Luminosity and Redshift Ranges
We present partial-correlation analyses that examine the strengths of the relationships between l2500 Å, l2 keV, αOX, and redshift for optically-selected AGNs. We extend the work of Strateva et al. (2005), that analyzed optically-selected AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), by including 52 moderate-luminosity, optically-selected AGNs from the COMBO-17 survey with corresponding deep (...
