Scientific paper

Over the last few years, an increasing number of results have suggested that heavily obscured, Compton-Thick (CT) AGN are abundant both in the nearby and in the distant Universe. At high redshifts and luminosities, however, sampling the population of CT AGN is difficult because of their faintness and low density on the sky. We propose a program consisting of short exposures (10 ks each) to observe 16 luminous QSOs at z~1 which are likely to suffer from heavy obscuration. The targets have been selected from the SDSS DR6 based on their strong [NeV]3427 emission. The proposed observations will determine the average obscuration properties of these objects, placing constaints on the population of CT QSOs at z~1.
