SDSS candidate type II quasars. II
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Type II quasars are luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) whose central engines and broad-line regions are obscured by intervening material; such objects only recently have been discovered in appreciable numbers.
Description
We study the multiwavelength properties of 291 type II AGN candidates (0.3<z<0.8) selected on the basis of their optical emission-line properties from the spectroscopic database of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Cat. <J/AJ/126/2579>).
This sample includes about 150 objects luminous enough to be classified as type II quasars. We matched the sample to the FIRST (20cm, Cat.<VIII/71>), IRAS (12-100{mu}m, Cat. <II/125>), 2MASS (JHK_s_, Cat. <II/246>), and RASS (0.1-2.4keV, Cat. <IX/29>) surveys. Roughly 10% of optically selected type II AGN candidates are radio-loud, comparable to the AGN population as a whole.

About 40 objects are detected by IRAS at 60 and/or 100{mu}m, and the inferred mid/far-IR luminosities lie in the range L=10^45^-3x10^46^ergs/s. Average IR-to-[OIII]{lambda}5007 ratios of objects in our sample are consistent with those of other AGNs. Objects from our sample are 10 times less likely to have soft X-ray counterparts in RASS than type I AGNs with the same redshifts and [OIII]{lambda}5007 luminosities.
The few type II AGN candidates from our sample that are detected by RASS have harder X-ray spectra than those of type I AGNs. The multiwavelength properties of the type II AGN candidates from our sample are consistent with their interpretation as powerful obscured AGNs.
