Scientific paper

Type II quasars are suggested by unification models of Active Galactic Nuclei as luminous analogs of Seyfert 2 galaxies. A number of different methods have been used hitherto to discover type II quasars, but only a handful have been found. We selected about 150 type II quasar candidates from the SDSS spectroscopic database; these objects have strong narrow high-ionization emission lines. We describe the selection procedure and estimate intrinsic luminosities of these optically obscured AGN. A campaign to perform a multi-wavelength follow-up of the sample is now underway.
