The Simbol-X view of the unresolved X-ray background

A. Comastri, R. Gilli, F. Fiore +3

We will briefly discuss the importance of sensitive X-ray observations above 10 keV for a better understanding of the physical mechanisms associated to the Supermassive Black Hole…

Heavily obscured AGN with BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL, SWIFT, XMM and Chandra: prospects for Simbol-X

R. Della Ceca, P. Severgnini, A. Caccianiga +6

According to the latest versions of synthesis modeling of the Cosmic X-ray Background, Compton Thick AGN should represent ~50% of the total absorbed AGN population. However, despit…

The spatial clustering of mid-IR selected star forming galaxies at z ~ 1 in the GOODS fields

R. Gilli, E. Daddi, R. Chary +6

We present the first spatial clustering measurements of z~1, 24um-selected, star forming galaxies in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). The sample under investiga…

Multiwavelength study of massive galaxies at z~2. II. Widespread Compton thick AGN and the concurrent growth of black holes and bulges

E. Daddi, D. M. Alexander, M. Dickinson +16

Approximately 20-30% of 1.4<z<2.5 galaxies with K<22 (Vega) detected with Spitzer MIPS at 24um show excess mid-IR emission relative to that expected based on the rates of star form…

X-ray source counts in the COSMOS field

N. Cappelluti, G. Hasinger, M. Brusa +13

We present the analysis of the source counts in the XMM-COSMOS survey using data of the first year of XMM-Newton observations. The survey covers ~2 deg^2 within the region of sky b…

Compton-thick AGN and the Synthesis of the Cosmic X-ray Background: the Suzaku Perspective

R. Gilli, A. Comastri, C. Vignali +1

We discuss the abundance of Compton-thick AGN as estimated by the most recent population synthesis models of the cosmic X-ray background. Only a small fraction of these elusive obj…
