Abstract We propose to observe a set of 13 new IBIS/ISGRI sources extracted from a sampleof 50 AGN selected by INTEGRAL in the 20-100 keV band. These bright objects haveno X-ray spectroscopic information below 10 keV. XMM-Newton observations willallow us to cover the missing information in the 0.1-10 keV energy band forthese objects in order to characterize their broad band emission. We aim atestimating their intrinsic absorption so to provide the nH distribution of theentire sample of 50 INTEGRAL AGN and infer the ratio of absorbed versusunabsorbed objects in the local Universe. We estimate that an exposure of 10 ksfor each source for a total time of 130 ks, is sufficient to reach the goal ofthe present proposal.

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.
