The ultra-deep XMM survey in the CDFS: X-ray spectroscopy of heavily obscured AGN

Andrea Comastri, the XMM-CDFS team

We present selected results on the X-ray spectroscopy of distant, obscured AGN as obtained with the ultra-deep (~3 Ms) XMM-Newton survey in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S). On…

The Growth of Supermassive Black Holes Across Cosmic Time

K. Nandra, J. A. Aird, D. M. Alexander +54

One of the main themes in extragalactic astronomy for the next decade will be the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. Many future observatories, including JWST, ALMA, GMT, TMT…
