Scientific paper

The study of the X-ray spectral properties of type 2 QSO has fundamental consequence on several hot topics related to the AGN physics. The understanding of their X-ray spectral properties is, however, still limited. We propose XMM-Newton observations of 7 QSO2 belonging to the XMM Bright Survey. This QSO2 sample is unique at the moment: the objects are bright (both in X-ray and in the optical), they belong to a complete survey, and multi-wavelength data have been already accumulated. In particular for 5 objects we have Spitzer proprietary data (allowing us for a detailed investigation to characterize their infrared properties), while good optical spectra are available for all the objects (enabling for a detailed investigation of the AGN narrow line region as well as its host galaxy).
