The XMM-COSMOS survey (PI G. Hasinger) Area = 2 deg2 Flux limits: [0.5-2] keV -> 7.0x10-16 cgs [2-10] keV -> 3.3x10-15 cgs [5-10] keV -> 1.0x10-14 cgs 1390 point-like X-ray sources (Cappelluti et al. 2006) 1.4 deg See Marcella Brusa’s talk on Tuesday Extragalatic Surveys, Cambridge MA, Nov 6-8, 2006

Compare HR and NH values 90% of the sources with NH>1022 cm-2 have HR>-0.3 The only source outside this box shows soft excess in its X-ray spectra 99% of the sources with NH<1022 cm-2 have HR<-0.3 Extragalatic Surveys, Cambridge MA, Nov 6-8, 2006
X/O vs NH A tool to select obscured AGN: 60% X/O>10 are obscured (to be compare with the 23% for the full sample) High-z candidates? Extragalatic Surveys, Cambridge MA, Nov 6-8, 2006
QSO-2 candidates X-ray surveys are finding the radio quiet population of QSO-2 They are spanning a large redshift range: [0.7-2.4] R-K ~ 4-5 (Vega) Two are detected at 20cm: 540±24 Jy -> 9.8x1023 W/Hz 52±11 Jy -> 1.5x1023 W/Hz For the other two: F20cm(4.5) ~ 50 Jy Extragalatic Surveys, Cambridge MA, Nov 6-8, 2006

Conclusions Best models in the 12F: PL (76%), APL (20%), other (Fe,pexrav,etc..) 4% <>=2.06±0.08 (from 82 sources) No correlation between and NH or z We are building the observed NH distribution for a large and uniform sample of AGN 4 new QSO-2: their SED is well reproduced by a composite Sy2 spectrum Significant detection of FeK in three objects, one new Compton-thick candidate …more to come: the XMM-Newton data are all in hand and the spectroscopic follow-up is rapidly proceeding (Magellan & zCOSMOS) Mainieri et al 2006, submitted to Apj (COSMOS ApJS issue) Extragalatic Surveys, Cambridge MA, Nov 6-8, 2006
