Astronomico-Roma), R. Maiolino (Oss. Astrofisico di Arcetri-Firenze), P. Severgnini (Oss. Astronomico di Brera-Milano), | Abstract: | Multiwavelength observations of the hard X-ray selected sources by Chandra and XMM-Newton surveys have significantly improved our knowledge of the objects responsible of the hard X-ray background. A surprising finding is the discovery of a population of optically dull, X-ray bright galaxies emerging at 2-10 keV fluxes of the order of 10^{-14} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}. We present preliminary results of multiwavelength observations of a few objects serendipitously discovered in the field of XMM-Newton and Chandra observations and intensively studied at longer wavelengths. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0203019 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
