Abstract Because the above-15 keV band is unaffected by absorption this band offers thebest hope of obtaining an unbiased sample of AGN. The Swift BAT survey hasproduced the first large sample of hard X-ray bright AGN in the local universeproviding the data necessary to determine the true characteristics of the AGNpopulation, and hence the X-ray background. However to use this data one needsto obtain the X-ray spectral properties of these objects (absorption, Fe lines).In the second BAT survey only virgul1/3 of the objects have available X-ray spectraand thus new observations are necessary. We propose to obtain short, 10ksobservations of all of the BAT sources without archival X-ray spectra(23objects).

Mission Description The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
