Piercing Through Highly Obscured and Compton-thick AGNs in the Chandra Deep Fields: I. X-ray Spectral and Long-term Variability Analyses

Junyao Li, Yongquan Xue, Mouyuan Sun +13

We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of 1152 AGNs selected in the Chandra Deep Fields (CDFs), in order to identify highly obscured AGNs ($N_{\mathrm{H}}>10^{23}\mathrm{c}{\mathrm{m}}^{-2}$…
