Scientific paper

We propose to study the SB-AGN connection in a representative sample of Seyfert 2 galaxies in which the stellar population have been analysed using state-of-the-art population synthesis models in the optical-UV. By extending the results of the optical modeling to X-rays, we can infer the amount of energy in the X band produced by the SB and compare it with the energy from the central engine. Interestingly, this will allow us to elucidate the nature of the soft X-ray emission in Seyfert 2s, which is still largely unknown. The lack of well studied samples of Seyfert 2s which explore the complementary information provided by optical-UV and X-ray observations in a consistent and well defined manner justifies further analysis using high quality data such as those proposed here.
