Scientific paper

Here we present the results obtained from the analysis of 75 ksec of XMM-Newton observations of a sample of EROs selected from one MUNICS field (K'<19.5 mag). We find 6 EROs with a X-ray counterpart down to a 2--10 keV flux limit of ~10^{-15} cgs. For all of them the X-ray--to--optical flux ratios and the 2--10 keV luminosities suggest the presence of AGN. In particular, a complete X-ray spectral analysis shows that high luminosity, obscured AGNs (i.e. QSO2 candidates) are present in 3 of them.
