AGN Unified Model Urry & Padovani 1995
Unified Model Type 1 AGNs: - Broad Emission Lines - Blue optical continuum - Radio Loud if viewing angle is small Type 2 AGNs: - Obscuration in the optical/UV and soft X-rays - Narrow Emission Lines - Radio Quiet - Obscured by the Equatorial Dust Torus Fundamental Parameters: - Black Hole Mass (host galaxy mass) - Mass Accretion Rate (AGN Luminosity) - Black Hole Spin (Merger history?)

The Thesis GOALS Understand how AGN primary radiation in the UV and X-ray wavelength range and re-radiation (in the far IR) combine to produce the observed “backgrounds” or integrated light, that have defied explanation for more than 30 years. Improve Luminosity Functions, Redshift distributions and evolution of Type 2 AGN, increasing the number of sources at high redshift (z~2), population often missed by large area/shallow surveys.

Summary My Thesis will: Enlarge the sample of obscured AGN at high redshift. Provide better constrains on the contribution of obscured AGN to the X-ray and Infrared Backgrounds. Generate Luminosity Functions up to z~2 for Type II AGN. Tell us more about the physics of AGN and the unified model by combining observations with model.
