Is there an Obscured AGN in the Normal Galaxy IRASF01063-8034

Surveys resolve substantial fractions of the hard cosmic Xray backgroundinto individual sources, but the accounting is incomplete. We haveindirectly detected an AGN in an edgeon, optically normal galaxy via the observation of water megamaser emission, which elsewhere existsexclusively in type2 AGN. We propose a 33 ksec EPIC observation toconfirm spectroscopically the presence of an AGN in IRASF010638034.Detection would support arguments that nearby galaxies could containpreviously unrecognized AGN, with bearing on the origin of the hard Xray background. Detection would also suggest radio surveys of edgeon systems, looking for masers, would usefully supplement Xray surveys. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
