Oral title: Measuring redshifts from X-ray spectra of obscured AGN

Oral abstract: I will present a method to constrain redshifts through X-ray absorption edges in obscured AGN. I apply 
Bayesian model template fitting to imaging X-ray spectra and obtain redshift probability distributions. We demonstrate our 
method on real CDF-S data and thoroughly verify its applicability by simulating current and upcoming missions. The 
redshift uncertainty depends on photon counts, obscuration and instrument. However, not meeting the conditions does 
not lead to wrong results, only large uncertainties. This method can be used to confirm or independently measure 
redshifts of obscured AGN.
