Unexpected in the AGN unified scheme, there exists a population of broad-line z~2 QSOs which have heavily absorbed X-ray spectra. These objects constitute 10% of the population at luminosities and redshifts characteristic of the main…

In contradiction to the simple AGN unification schemes, there exists a significant population of broad line, z~2 QSOs which have heavily absorbed X-ray spectra. These objects have luminosities and redshifts characteristic of the sources…

For the population of QSOs with broad ultraviolet absorption lines, we are just beginning to accumulate X-ray observations with enough counts for spectral analysis at CCD resolution. From a sample of eight QSOs [including four Broad…

We present an analysis of the submillimetre/X-ray properties of 19 X-ray absorbed, Compton-thin quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) selected to have luminosities and redshifts which represent the peak of cosmic QSO activity. i.e. ~L* objects at…

We present the results of the X-ray spectral analysis of an XMM-Newton-selected type II QSO sample with z>0.5 and 0.5-10 keV flux of 0.3-33 x 10^{-14} erg/s/cm^2. The distribution of absorbing column densities in type II QSOs is…

We present XMM-Newton data centered on one of the MUNICS Near Infrared Cluster Survey fields (S2F1) and we discuss the X-ray properties of the 6 X-ray emitting EROs found. For one of them we have already obtained the redshift using…

We present the results of a systematic analysis of the XMM-Newton spectra of nearby optically bright QSOs. The objects have been selected from X-ray Galaxy Catalog Xgal20. It is a catalog of 1172 manually identified and classified galaxies,…

We explore the X-ray properties of optically selected QSOs spectroscopically identified in the course of the 2dF QSO survey (2QZ). Our main goal is to expand to higher redshifts previous findings suggesting the presence of a fraction of…

We report on the spectral properties of a sample of 90 hard X-ray selected serendipitous sources detected in 12 XMM observations with 1<F(2-10)<80 10^(-14) erg/cm2/s. Approximately 40% of the sources are optically identified with 0.1<z<2…

We study the XMM-Newton spectra of a sample of 32 soft X-ray selected QSOs. Our goal is to check, using the spectra of moderate redshift (z~1.5), faint (f (0.2-8 keV) > 5x10^-15 cgs) broad-line QSOs, previous claims for either significant…

We present new mid-infrared and submillimetre observations for a sample of eight high redshift type-2 QSOs located in the Chandra Deep Field South. The sources are X-ray absorbed with luminosities in excess of 10^44 erg/s. Two of the…

Major flows of ionized gas are thought to be present in the nuclei of most luminous QSOs, and absorption by these flows often has a significant effect upon the observed X-ray continuum from the black hole region. We briefly discuss X-ray…

We present optical and X-ray data for a sample of serendipitous XMM-Newton sources that are selected to have 0.5-2 keV vs 2-4.5 keV X-ray hardness ratios which are harder than the X-ray background. The sources have 2-4.5 keV X-ray flux >=…

We have assembled a sample of 5 X-ray-absorbed and submm-luminous type 1 QSOs at $z \sim 2$ which are simultaneously growing their central black holes through accretion and forming stars copiously. We present here the analysis of their…

We present the first large sample of absorption systems in paired QSOs consisting of 691 absorption systems in the spectra of 310 QSOs including 170 pairings. All these absorption systems have metal lines, usually C IV or Mg II. We see 17…

Approximately 20% of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) exhibit broad, blue-shifted absorption lines in their ultraviolet spectra. Such features provide clear evidence for significant outflows from these systems, most likely in the form of…

We present results from XMM-Newton observations of the obscured QSO 1SAX J1218.9+2958. We find that the previously reported optical and soft X-ray counterpart positions are incorrect. However we confirm the spectroscopic redshift of 0.176.…

We present a moderate-resolution (~20 km/s) spectrum of the mini broad-absorption-line QSO PG1351+64 between 915-1180 A, obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Additional spectra at longer wavelengths were also…

We present X-shooter at the Vewry Large Telescope observations of a sample of 10 luminous, X-ray obscured QSOs at z$\sim1.5$ from the XMM-COSMOS survey, expected to be caught in the transitioning phase from starburst to active galactic…

The analysis of a series of seven observations of the nearby ($z=0.0809$) QSO, PG 1211+143, taken with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on-board XMM-Newton in 2014, are presented. The high resolution soft X-ray spectrum, with a…
