Scientific paper

We propose to observe with Chandra a sample of six candidate Type II (i.e., narrow-line) quasars selected from among the SDSS sample of Zakamska et al. (2003) on the basis of their large [O III] luminosities. The study of their X-ray emission through spectral fitting will allow us to verify whether the population of optically selected Type II quasars have properties similar to those of X-ray selected Type II quasars. The main goal of these exploratory observations is to test whether optically selected Type II quasars are strongly obscured sources as expected from Unification models. The proposed objects constitute an ideal sample for studies of the Type II quasar population given the well-defined selection criteria provided by the SDSS.
