| Abstract: |
The broad band properties of a large sample of hard X--ray selected sources discovered by BeppoSAX, ASCA, Chandra and XMM surveys are used to discriminate among competing scenarios for the synthesis of the hard X--ray background (XRB) and to evaluate their contribution to the far-infrared and sub-millimeter backgrounds (FIRB). In particular we discuss the role of heavily obscured, Compton thick sources arguing how their properties can be much better constrained through a combined fit of XRB and FIRB spectra. |
