ASCA Deep survey in Lockman Hole Field

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the results of deep observations of the Lockman Hole field with the ASCA SIS, covering 926arcmin^2^ in the 1-7keV energy range, with a sensitivity 3-5 times deeper than the previous ASCA larger area surveys.

Description

Utilizing the results of the ROSAT Ultra Deep survey, we have detected 32, 25, and 15 sources in the 1-7, 1-2, and 2-7keV bands, and only 4, 4, and 1 sources remain unidentified, respectively. The average hardness of the sources detected in the 1-7keV band with fluxes of between 10^-14^ and 10^-13^erg/cm^2^/s corresponds to a photon index of 1.65+/-0.10.

Type-2 AGNs show significantly harder spectra than type-1s, which can be explained by absorption column densities of N_H_~10^22-23^cm^-2 at the source redshifts. Fifteen sources are detected in the hard-band (2-7keV), consisting of six type-1 AGNs, six type-2 AGNs, one star, one cluster of galaxies, and one unidentified source. Type-2 AGNs make up a major part of hard X-ray populations in the 2-7keV band at a flux level of 3x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s (2-7 keV).

The redshift distributions of type-1 and type-2 AGNs suggest a lack of high luminosity (optically-defined) type-2 AGNs with intrinsic N_H_<10^23^cm^-2, n the redshift range z~1-2 and/or with intrinsic luminosities larger than 3x10^44^erg/s (2-10keV at source frame).
