Benvenuti nell'Anagrafe della Ricerca d'Ateneo
La valutazione delle attività di ricerca che si svolgono nelle università ha assunto un'importanza rilevante sia per l'intero sistema universitario sia all'interno di ogni singolo ateneo. Roma Tre si è quindi dotata di idonei strumenti informativi in grado di supportare al meglio le azioni di monitoraggio e di valutazione delle attività di ricerca svolte nei propri dipartimentied ha realizzato una Anagrafe della Ricerca di Ateneo.
EnglishWe present the first X-ray spectrum of a hot dust-obscured galaxy (DOG), namely W1835+4355 at z similar to 2.3. Hot DOGs represent a very rare population of hyperluminous (>= 10(47) erg s(-1)), dust-enshrouded objects at z >= 2 recently discovered in the WISE All Sky Survey. The 40 ks XMM-Newton spectrum reveals a continuum as flat (Gamma similar to 0.8) as typically seen in heavily obscured AGN. This, along with the presence of strong Fe K alpha emission, clearly suggests a reflection-dominated spectrum due to Compton-thick absorption. In this scenario, the observed luminosity of L2-10 similar to 2 x 10(44) erg s(-1) is a fraction (<10%) of the intrinsic one, which is estimated to be greater than or similar to 5 x 10(45) erg s(-1) by using several proxies. The Herschel data allow us to constrain the SED up to the sub-mm band, providing a reliable estimate of the quasar contribution (similar to 75%) to the IR luminosity as well as the amount of star formation (similar to 2100 M-circle dot yr(-1)). Our results thus provide additional pieces of evidence that associate Hot DOGs with an exceptionally dusty phase during which luminous quasars and massive galaxies co-evolve and a very efficient and powerful AGN-driven feedback mechanism is predicted by models.

| Abstract: | We present the first X-ray spectrum of a hot dust-obscured galaxy (DOG), namely W1835+4355 at z similar to 2.3. Hot DOGs represent a very rare population of hyperluminous (>= 10(47) erg s(-1)), dust-enshrouded objects at z >= 2 recently discovered in the WISE All Sky Survey. The 40 ks XMM-Newton spectrum reveals a continuum as flat (Gamma similar to 0.8) as typically seen in heavily obscured AGN. This, along with the presence of strong Fe K alpha emission, clearly suggests a reflection-dominated spectrum due to Compton-thick absorption. In this scenario, the observed luminosity of L2-10 similar to 2 x 10(44) erg s(-1) is a fraction (<10%) of the intrinsic one, which is estimated to be greater than or similar to 5 x 10(45) erg s(-1) by using several proxies. The Herschel data allow us to constrain the SED up to the sub-mm band, providing a reliable estimate of the quasar contribution (similar to 75%) to the IR luminosity as well as the amount of star formation (similar to 2100 M-circle dot yr(-1)). Our results thus provide additional pieces of evidence that associate Hot DOGs with an exceptionally dusty phase during which luminous quasars and massive galaxies co-evolve and a very efficient and powerful AGN-driven feedback mechanism is predicted by models. | |
