Scientific paper

We propose to observe seven very luminous 3CR quasars, which together with an already observed one, form 4 pairs of sources, each composed by a type 1 and a type 2 object, with similar redshift and radio luminosity. These objects are expected to be the most luminous quasars observed in the X-rays (2-10 keV intrinsic luminosity L>10^45 er/). With these observations we will be able to test whether the unified model of AGNs still holds at these luminosities in a well defined, homogeneous and representative sample of objects. We will measure the absorption properties of these objects, checking whether Compton thick sources are common among type 2 quasars.
