Scientific paper

We combine X-ray luminosity functions with appropiate spectral energy distributions (SED) to model the X-ray and optical flux distributions of the X-ray sources in the GOODS fields. A simple model based on the unified paradigm for AGN successfully reproduces the X-ray and optical number counts and is consistent with the observed spectroscopic and photometric redshift distributions. A significant population of obscured AGN are missing in the X-ray samples, but should be visible in deep far infrared observations.
