The OPTX Project: Comparing the Optical and X-Ray Spectral Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 June 2010
Abstract
Using a uniformly selected and highly spectroscopically complete sample of Chandra X-ray sources, we show that one cannot use X-ray spectral classifications and optical spectral classifications equivalently. Until a better understanding is reached for how the X-ray and optical classifications relate to the obscuration of the central engine, the use of a mixed classification scheme can only complicate the interpretation of X-ray AGN samples.
