SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL 41208 MASAAKI SAKANO KYOTO UNIVERSITY KYOTO JAPAN 606-01 KYOTO OIWAKE-CHO,KITASHIRAKAWA, SAKYO E-mail: SAKANO@CR.SCPHYS.KYOTO-U.AC.JP Tel: +81-75-753-3867 Fax: +81-75-751-5377 Medium: 2.5GB8MM Subject: AGN Title: DEEP OBSERVATION OF THE HIGHLY ABSORBED SOURCE DETECTED FIRST BY ASCA IN LSS PROJECT Abstract: We found some of new sources whose soft X-ray component is highly absorbed in ASCA Large Sky Survey project. This target, LSS1988+317, is the the most strongly absorbed one of them. It is very likely one of type-2 AGNs. Moreover it is possibly type-2 QSOs. Only a few type-2 QSOs are detected till now, though the number of type-2 QSOs must be more than that of type-1 QSOs, according to the unified scheme of AGN. This observation is a marvelous chance to detect the new type-2 QSO and to study it. We also got the image of the region around LSS1988+317 in R and B band, and detect several optical candidates of it already. We will spectroscope and identify them. This observation by X-ray and optics will give a large impact on the theory of AGN and in addition, on the theory of X-ray background.
