The XMM-COSMOS survey (PI G. Hasinger)

See Marcella Brusa’s talk on Tuesday

Area = 2 deg2

Flux limits:

[0.5-2] keV -> 7.0x10-16 cgs

[2-10] keV -> 3.3x10-15 cgs

[5-10] keV -> 1.0x10-14 cgs

Spectra extraction

1. Define source and background extraction regions (off-axis angle, S/N, nearby sources)

2. Extract spectrum and background for each single pointing

3. Combine spectrum and background coming from different pointings

Compare HR and NH values

90% of the sources with NH>1022 cm-2 have HR>-0.3

The only source outside this box shows soft excess in its X-ray spectra

99% of the sources with NH<1022 cm-2

have HR<-0.3


X/O vs NH

A tool to select obscured AGN:

60% X/O>10 are obscured (to be compare with the 23% for the full sample)

High-z candidates?


QSO-2 candidates

X-ray surveys are finding the radio quiet population of QSO-2

They are spanning a large redshift range: [0.7-2.4]

R-K ~ 4-5 (Vega)

Two are detected at 20cm: 540±24 Jy -> 9.8x1023 W/Hz 52±11 Jy -> 1.5x1023 W/Hz

For the other two: F20cm(4.5) ~ 50 Jy

Conclusions

Best models in the 12F: PL (76%), APL (20%), other (Fe,pexrav,etc..) 4%

<>=2.06±0.08 (from 82 sources)

No correlation between and NH or z

We are building the observed NH distribution for a large and uniform sample of AGN

4 new QSO-2: their SED is well reproduced by a composite Sy2 spectrum

Significant detection of FeK in three objects, one new Compton-thick candidate

…more to come: the XMM-Newton data are all in hand and the spectroscopic follow-up is rapidly proceeding (Magellan & zCOSMOS)
