Wilkes, Cutri, Hines, Nelson, Schmidt, & Smith (2001 ApJ, 564, L65)
Subset of Type 1 & 2 AGN with
Ks.8 & B-Ks > 4.3
- 15/26 with ACIS-I observations
- Exposures set to detect 1/800 x prediction based on aKX = 2.1
- 2MASS red AGN are absorbed in X-rays
-
- All are X-ray faint
- Hardness ratios - NH ~ 1021-1023
- Even after correction for internal extinction, some are still underluminous in X-rays
