Scientific paper

We propose a 20 ks ACIS-S exploratory observation of the strongly lensed z=2.286 Seyfert 2 galaxy FSC10214+4724. The multi-wavelength properties of this source are typical of those of the submm galaxy population, a source population that contains some of the most luminous high-redshift galaxies in the Universe. Using the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North survey, we recently showed that upwards of 26% of submm galaxies host an AGN. Given the 15-100 times gravitational lens boost of FSC10214+4724, a 20 ks ACIS-S observation achieves the equivalent sensitivity of a ~0.5-4 Ms Chandra exposure. The proposed observation will test whether our 2 Ms Chandra constraints are appropriate for AGNs in typical submm galaxies by observing an AGN in a submm galaxy selected in a relatively unbiased manner.
