Abstract We propose to observe with XMM-Newton all 19 AGN (from a complete sample of 74INTEGRAL selected objects), for which no or limited spectral information areavailable below 10 keV. XMM observations will allow us to cover the missinginformation in the X-ray band and to characterize the broad band emission ofthese newly discovered sources. We emphasize here the hard X-ray selection ofour sources and the unique role of INTEGRAL data in providing spectralinformation above 10 keV. This is the continuation of 3 previous successful XMMproposals, which have so far provided X-ray data for a number of INTEGRAL AGNs.We estimate a single source exposure in the range of 15-30 ks, for a total timeof 345 ks, therefore we submit an XMM Large Program.

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.
