Physics

Scientific paper

We propose to observe a small group of three Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies optically classified as starburst or LINER, which according to our analysis based on Spitzer 5-8 micron spectra hide obscured active nuclei. These AGNs account for >50% of the total source luminosity, which puts them among the few known QSO2s al low redshift (z<0.25). The Chandra observations will test our prediction, possibly providing a direct evidence of these hidden nuclei. While it is well assessed that most of the luminosity of local ULIRGs is due to starbursts, our observations would further increase the fraction of these objects known to host a heavily obscured AGN.
