Abstract

Results of optical identification of the ASCA Lynx Deep Survey are presented. Six X-ray sources are detected in the 2-7 keV band using the Solid-State Imaging Spectrometer in a ~20' × 20' field of view with fluxes larger than ~4 × 10-14 ergs s-1 cm-2 in the band. Follow-up optical spectroscopic observations were made, and five out of six sources are identified with active galactic nuclei/quasi-stellar objects (AGNs/QSOs) at redshifts of 0.5-1.3. We also identify two more additional X-ray sources detected in a soft X-ray band with AGNs/QSOs. We find that three QSOs identified are located at z ~ 1.3. Two rich clusters and several groups of galaxies are also placed at the same redshift in the surveyed field, and projected separations between the QSOs and the clusters are 3-8 Mpc at the redshift.
