Description
We summarize the multiwavelength properties of X-ray sources detected in
the 80 ks XMM-Newton observation of the Groth-Westphal strip, a
contiguous strip of 28 Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary
Camera 2 (WFPC2) images. Among the ~150 X-ray sources detected in the
XMM-Newton field of view, 23 are within the WFPC2 fields. Ten
spectroscopic redshifts are available from the Deep Extragalactic
Evolutionary Probe and Canada-France Redshift Survey projects. Four of
these show broad Mg II emission and can be classified as type 1 active
galactic nuclei (AGNs). Two of those without any broad lines,
nevertheless, have [Ne V] emission, which is an unambiguous signature of
AGN activity. One is a narrow-line Seyfert 1 and the other a type 2 AGN.
As a follow-up, we have made near-infrared spectroscopic observations
using the OHS/CISCO spectrometer for five of the X-ray sources for which
we found no indication of AGN activity in the optical spectrum. We have
detected Hα+[N II] emission in four of them. A broad Hα
component and/or a large [N II]/Hα ratio is seen, suggestive of
AGN activity. Nineteen sources have been detected in the Ks
band, and four of these are extremely red objects (EROs)
(I814-Ks>4). The optical counterparts for the
majority of the X-ray sources are bulge-dominated. The
I814-Ks color of these bulge-dominated hosts are
indeed consistent with evolving elliptical galaxies, while
contaminations from star formation/AGNs seems to be present in their
V606-I814 color. Assuming that the known local
relations among the bulge luminosity, central velocity dispersion, and
the mass of the central blackhole still hold at z~1, we compare the AGN
luminosity with the Eddington luminosity of the central blackhole mass.
The AGN bolometric luminosity to Eddington luminosity ratio ranges from
0.3% to 10%.
