Abstract The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is creating the most-sensitive all-skysurvey in the penetrating 14-195 keV band, providing the least-biased sample ofbright local AGNs. We propose XMM-Newton spectral characterization of 16 AGNsfrom the 22-month BAT catalog that will complete a sample of 47 AGNs in 4800square degrees. This will allow complete and in-depth X-ray spectralcharacterization of the most-representative local AGN sample to date. We willderive the best-available distributions of AGN X-ray properties includingabsorption column density, absorption complexity, iron K emission, scatteredemission, ionized edges, and luminosity. Our bright local templates will aidgreatly in the understanding of distant AGNs in deep surveys.

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.
