The nature of the soft X-ray emission in obscured AGN
Stefano Bianchi, Matteo Guainazzi
The origin of the soft X-ray emission in obscured AGN is still largely unknown.Our understanding of the accretion onto BHs and of its interaction with gas and stars in the dense nuclear environment would receive a dramatic burst by the solution of this mystery.We will:a)present CIELO,the first catalogue of soft X-ray emission lines in obscured AGN,built from observations of the XMM-Newton RGS;b)present the spatial correlation between soft X-ray emitting regions observed by Chandra and the NLR.
