Obscured AGNs in the COSMOS field

Francesca Civano

The database offered by the COSMOS survey offers a unique possibility to select statistically meaningful samples of AGN characterized by extreme properties. I present a multiwavelength analysis of X-ray sources selected on the basis of R-K>5 and high X/O, showing the efficiency of this combined selection criterium in picking up QSO2. I also discuss preliminary results of a SED fitting and of the morphological analysis of the host galaxies.
