Scientific paper
About 1/4 of faint Chandra and XMM hard X-ray selected sources has X-ray to optical flux ratio ten times higher than that of optically selected type 1 AGN (which have X/O~1). The redshift and luminosity of this large source population is unknown. If they are high-z, highly obscured AGN, i.e. quasar2, they may carry the largest fraction of accretion power from that shell of Universe. This proposal is to obtain accurate Chandra positions of 4 extreme sources with X/O>30, F(2-10keV)>=2E-14 cgs and X-ray colors indicating strong obscuration. This is the X-ray brightest sample of sources with X/O>30 known, those for which we might expect to find, thanks to the Chandra arcsec positions, optical-NIR counterparts bright enough to obtain photometric redshifts using 8m class telescopes.
