Scientific paper

The red optical colors, high polarisation and intermediate spectral type of 2MASS AGN, and their absorbed Chandra spectra imply that the nucleus is partially obscured by Unification's `putative' disk/torus. Given our line-of-sight, their unusual multiwavelength properties uniquely probe this obscuring material. Their X-ray properties and high space density ensure their strong contribution to the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXRB). This, the largest, uniform sample of X-ray absorbed AGN, provides a unique opportunity to characterize a key population and probe AGN structure. X-ray observations are available for 44 low-redshift (<0.4) 2MASS AGN. We propose Chandra observations of 7 with 0.5
