Scientific paper

We propose 10 - 20 ksec Chandra ACIS-S observations of four Seyfert 2 galaxies in which polarized optical broad lines (and hence hidden Seyfert 1 nuclei) have been seen. ASCA observations of Seyfert 2 galaxies with polarized broad lines (PBL) show their X-ray nuclei to be significantly weaker than their Seyfert 1 counterparts, based on the luminosity of their polarized H beta lines or other reliable indicators of Seyfert 1 X-ray luminosity such as infrared or [O III] luminosity. In addition, Seyfert 2 galaxies with PBL show more scattered soft X-ray emission than other Seyfert 2 galaxies. Our aim is to obtain spectra of the nuclei and extended emission of these objects to test the unification scheme, and in particular whether the emission from the central source is isotropic or beamed.
