dc.description.abstract | We present the 3-8 keV and 8-24 keV number counts of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) identified in the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) extragalactic surveys. NuSTAR has now resolved 33%-39% of the X-ray background in the 8-24 keV band, directly identifying AGNs with obscuring columns up to ∼ {10}<SUP>25</SUP> {{cm}}<SUP>-2</SUP>. In the softer 3-8 keV band the number counts are in general agreement with those measured by XMM-Newton and Chandra over the flux range 5× {10}<SUP>-15</SUP> ≲ S(3-8 keV)/{erg} {{{s}}}<SUP>-1</SUP> {{cm}}<SUP>-2</SUP> ≲ {10}<SUP>-12</SUP> probed by NuSTAR. In the hard 8-24 keV band NuSTAR probes fluxes over the range 2× {10}<SUP>-14</SUP> ≲ S(8-24 keV)/{erg} {{{s}}}<SUP>-1</SUP> {{cm}}<SUP>-2</SUP> ≲ {10}<SUP>-12</SUP>, a factor ∼100 fainter than previous measurements. The 8-24 keV number counts match predictions from AGN population synthesis models, directly confirming the existence of a population of obscured and/or hard X-ray sources inferred from the shape of the integrated cosmic X-ray background. The measured NuSTAR counts lie significantly above simple extrapolation with a Euclidian slope to low flux of the Swift/BAT 15-55 keV number counts measured at higher fluxes (S(15-55 keV) ≳ 10<SUP>-11</SUP> {erg} {{{s}}}<SUP>-1</SUP> {{cm}}<SUP>-2</SUP>), reflecting the evolution of the AGN population between the Swift/BAT local (z\lt 0.1) sample and NuSTAR’s z∼ 1 sample. CXB synthesis models, which account for AGN evolution, lie above the Swift/BAT measurements, suggesting that they do not fully capture the evolution of obscured AGNs at low redshifts. | en_US |
