Scientific paper

We have identified a population of emission-line objects in DPOSS, which can be plausibly interpreted as the long-sought type-2 quasars. This provides a major piece of evidence in favor of th eunified schemes for AGN, and it should help extend our understanding of AGN in general. This population may be a major contributor to the cosmic x-ray background. X-ray observations are a key in confirming the nature of these objects through measurements of the intrinsic cuclear luminosity as well as the absorbing column. We propose CXO observations on a sample of ten of these, to complement our extensive Keck/Palomar/HST/VLA followup program.
