Scientific paper

Hyperluminous IR galaxies are among the most likely hosts of the elusive type II quasars: X-ray obscured narrow-line AGN with L(2-10keV)>1E44 erg/s. SED models show that in many HyLIRGs obscured AGN and starbursts contribute comparably to an IR luminosity exceeding 1E13 Lsun, rendering them ideal systems in which to observe the joint formation of a supermassive black hole and its host spheroid. In A0-1 we performed XMM-Newton EPIC observations of 2 HyLIRGs at z0.3,0.58 and inferred that their quasar nuclei are obscured by Compton-thick columns, whose covering factor may be related to their narrow emission line classification. Soft X-ray emission from the starburst is detected for the lower-z target. We propose to extend the programme with observations of a further 5 HyLIRGs at z<1.
