Scientific paper

We propose exploratory observations with Chandra of 6 sources belonging to a new AGN class: the naked AGN. Based on optical spectroscopic studies, these sources appear as classical type 2 AGN, with only narrow forbidden lines in emission and no broad lines. However, optical long-term monitoring campaigns show that the same sources are strongly variable with strong emission continuum, typical of type 1 AGN. The X-ray data, which are unambiguously associated with genuine nuclear activity, are crucial to shed light on the nature of these enigmatic sources, which may be representative of a large class of AGN.
