The Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxy MKN 231: New clues from BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton
V. Braito, R. Della Ceca, E. Piconcelli +11
We present BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton observations of MKN 231. These observations and in particular the BeppoSAX PDS data allowed us to unveil, for the first time, the highly absorbed…
An XMM-Newton Survey of Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies
V. Braito, A. Franceschini, R. Della Ceca +8
We present preliminary results of XMM-Newton observations of 5 Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs), part of a mini-survey program dedicated to 10 ULIRGs selected from the bri…
Relic Black Holes and Type 2 Quasars
Alessandro Marconi, Marco Salvati
We follow the evolution of the Black Hole mass function in the assumption that mass accretion onto a massive BH is the powering mechanism of AGN activity. With reasonable assumptio…
HST Imaging in the Chandra Deep Field South: I. Multiple AGN Populations
E. J. Schreier, A. M. Koekemoer, N. A. Grogin +9
We present preliminary results from imaging three HST/WFPC2 fields in V and I within the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). HST's sensitivity and resolution are sufficient to reveal…
Sub-mm and X-ray background: two unrelated phenomena?
P. Severgnini, R. Maiolino, M. Salvati +9
Obscured AGNs are thought to contribute a large fraction of the hard X-ray background (2-10 keV), and have also been proposed as the powerhouse of a fraction of the SCUBA sources w…
The hard X-ray emission of luminous infrared galaxies
G. Risaliti, R. Gilli, R. Maiolino +1
We present a study of the hard X-ray properties of a sample that includes all the Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIGs, L_IR > 10^11 L_sun) observed in the 2-10 keV energy band (new an…
