X-ray - Infrared relation of AGNs and search for highly obscured accretion in the AKARI NEP Field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 June 2020
Abstract
The infrared Astronomical Satellite AKARI conducted deep (∼0.4 deg2) and wide (∼ 5.4 deg2) surveys around the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) with its InfraRed Camera (IRC) with nine filters continuously covering the 2–25 μm range. These photometric bands include three filters that fill the “ Spitzer gap” between the wavelength coverages of IRAC and MIPS. This unique feature has enabled us to make sensitive mid-infrared detection of AGN candidates at z∼1-2, based on the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting including hot dust emission in the AGN torus. This enables us to compare X-rays and the AGN torus component of the infrared emission to help us identify highly absorbed AGNs, including Compton-thick ones. We report our results of the Chandra observation of the AKARI NEP Deep Field and discuss the prospects for upcoming Spectrum-RG (eROSITA+ART-XC) on the AKARI Wide field.
