Scientific paper

Using the SDSS, we have identified a large number of type II quasars (high-luminosity obscured AGN, with L_{bol}>10^45 erg/s) at redshifts z<0.8. We propose to continue our survey of type II quasars with Chandra to obtain a large sample of objects with known X-ray properties for statistical studies. Our primary goals are to quantify their degree of obscuration, to determine X-ray luminosities and to study the distributions of these properties. Many of the objects in this proposal will also be observed by Spitzer, and therefore we will be able to produce a high-quality library of SEDs over a wide range of wavelengths. This study will be important for both the modeling of high-luminosity AGN and to understand the populations of AGN in deep X-ray and IR surveys.
