PKU-Yale Lecture Series (III) to Be Held PKU NEWS http://ennews.pku.edu.cn/news.php?s=173187655

Topic: Hidden Black Holes in the Distant Universe In principle, counting Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) reveals the demographics of supermassive black holes. Optical/UV surveys easily find AGN out to high redshift, and they are numerous in the early Universe (z~2-3); however, if obscuration is important, as suggested by local AGN unification and by the spectrum of the X-ray background, the true number could be much larger. Using deep data from the Spitzer, Hubble, Chandra and ground-based observatories, the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) and Multi-wave-length Survey by Yale & Chile (MUSYC) projects reveal evidence for a substantial population of obscured AGN, with which we can explain the integrated X-ray background, the redshift distributions in deep X-ray surveys, and the infrared number counts of AGN. Locally, roughly ¾ of all AGN are obscured, and our recent analysis suggests this fraction increases with redshift.

Speaker: Prof. Meg Urry, Yale University Date: March 13th, 2007 Time: 4:15 pm Venue: Room 2112, Physics Building Meg Urry is the Israel Munson Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Yale University, and Director of the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics.
