X-Ray Spectral Parameters for a Sample of 95 Active Galactic Nuclei
Abstract
We present a broadband X-ray analysis of a new homogeneous sample of 95 active galactic nuclei (AGN) from the 22-month Swift/BAT all-sky survey. For this sample we treated jointly the X-ray spectra observed by XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL missions for the total spectral range of 0.5-250 keV. Photon index \Gamma, relative reflection R, equivalent width of Fe line (EW Fe ), hydrogen column density , exponential cut-off energy and intrinsic luminosity are determined for all objects of the sample. We investigated correlations \Gamma - R, EW Fe - , \Gamma - , EW Fe - . Dependence \Gamma - R for Seyfert 1 and 2 type of galaxies has been investigated separately. We found that the relative reflection parameter at low power-law indexes for Seyfert 2 galaxies is systematically higher than for Seyfert 1 ones. This can be related to an increasing contribution of the reflected radiation from the gas-dust torus. Our data show that there exists some anticorrelation between EW Fe and , but it is not strong. We have not found statistically significant deviations from the AGN Unified Model.
