Distant obscured quasars

Abstract:

This thesis presents a study of high-redshift obscured (type-2) quasars, selected at mid-infrared and radio wavelengths. This population had remained elusive, even to hard X-ray surveys, and in Chapter 2 I compare the selection of type-2 quasars in X-ray and mid-infrared surveys, as well as explaining the criteria I will use to search for these objects at z ~ 2, around the peak in the unobscured (type-1) quasar activity.

Chapter 3, presents a sample of radio-intermediate type-2 qua...
