The XMM deep survey in the CDF-S. X. X-ray variability of bright sources

S. Falocco, M. Paolillo, A. Comastri +6

We aim to study the variability properties of bright hard X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with redshift between 0.3 and 1.6 detected in the Chandra Deep Field South (XM…

High-redshift AGN in the Chandra Deep Fields: the obscured fraction and space density of the sub- population

F. Vito, W. N. Brandt, G. Yang +14

We investigate the population of high-redshift () AGN selected in the two deepest X-ray surveys, the 7 Ms \textit{Chandra} Deep Field-South and 2 Ms \textit{Chandra} D…

The primordial environment of supermassive black holes (II): deep Y and J band images around the z=6.3 quasar SDSS J1030+0524

B. Balmaverde, R. Gilli, M. Mignoli +9

Many cosmological studies predict that early supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can only form in the most massive dark matter halos embedded within large scale structures marked by g…

X-ray spectroscopy of the z=6.4 quasar J1148+5251

Simona Gallerani, Luca Zappacosta, Maria Carmela Orofino +9

We present the 78-ks Chandra observations of the quasar SDSS J1148+5251. The source is clearly detected in the energy range 0.3-7 keV with 42 counts (with a significance $\…

The Chandra COSMOS legacy survey: Energy Spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray Background and constraints on undetected populations

Nico Cappelluti, Yanxia Li, Angelo Ricarte +15

Using {\em Chandra} observations in the 2.15 deg COSMOS legacy field, we present one of the most accurate measurements of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) spectrum to date i…
