Scientific paper

We propose X-ray spectroscopy of type 2 QSO candidates chosen based on very luminous optical emission lines and Seyfert 2 type classification in the IRAS 1 Jy sample of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). Our goals are (1) to measure intrinsic luminosity to test whether the main power source in Seyfert-type ULIRGs is an AGN if the AGN is Compton thin, (2) to constrain the geometry of obscuring matter from Fe-K lines and to compare them with less luminous AGNs. These data will be a basis to take a census of type 2 QSOs in on-going/future IR/X-ray survey and to perform hard X-ray follow up to fully understand the long-sought class of AGNs.
