We present results on approximately one year of INTEGRAL observations of six AGN detected during the regular scans of the Galactic Plane. The sample is composed by five Seyfert 2 objects (MCG -05-23-16, NGC 4945, the Circinus galaxy, NGC…
According to the unified model, the differences observed in different classes of AGN are due to anisotropic obscuration. This implies that in the hard X-rays, at energies where the radiation can pierce the obscuring material, the average…
In this letter we present the primary continuum parameters, the photon index Gamma and the high energy cut-off Ec, of 41 type-1 Seyfert galaxies extracted from the INTEGRAL complete sample of AGN. We performed a broad band (0.3-100 keV)…
We present the first INTEGRAL AGN catalog, based on observations performed from launch of the mission in October 2002 until January 2004. The catalog includes 42 AGN, of which 10 are Seyfert 1, 17 are Seyfert 2, and 9 are intermediate…
The INTEGRAL mission provides a large data set for studying the hard X-ray properties of AGN and allows testing of the unified scheme for AGN. We present analysis of INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI, JEM-X, and OMC data for 199 AGN supposedly detected…
In this paper we discuss the broad-band X-ray characteristics of a complete sample of 36 type 1 AGN, detected by INTEGRAL in the 20-40 keV band above the 5.5sigma level. We present, for all the objects in the sample, the broad-band (1-110…
(Abridged) We made use of X-ray observations with the X-ray telescope on-board the \swift observatory to refine the X-ray position to 3-5" accuracy of 12 INTEGRAL sources, so as to further identify their counterpart at optical, infrared,…
Analysis of INTEGRAL Core Program and public Open Time observations performed up to April 2005 provides a sample of 62 active galactic nuclei in the 20-100 keV band above a flux limit of ~1.5x10^-11 erg/cm2/s. Most(42) of the sources in the…
A new sample of hard X-ray sources in the Galactic Plane is being revealed by the regular observations performed by the INTEGRAL satellite. The full characterization of these sources is mandatory to understand the hard X-ray sky. Here we…
The INTEGRAL mission provides a large data set for studying the hard X-ray properties of AGN and allows to test the unified scheme for AGN. We present results based on the analysis of 199 AGN. A difference between the Seyfert types is…
In the most recent IBIS survey based on observations performed during the first 1000 orbits of INTEGRAL, are listed 363 high energy emitters firmly associated with AGN, 107 of which are reported here for the first time. We have used X-ray…
Analysis of INTEGRAL Core Program and public Open Time observations has recently provided a sample of 60 extragalactic sources selected in the 20-100 keV band above a flux of 1.5 10^-11 erg/cm2/s. As this band probes heavily obscured…
The 0.5-150 keV broad-band spectra of a sample of nine bright type 1 Seyfert galaxies are analyzed here. These sources have been discovered/detected by INTEGRAL and subsequently observed with XMM--Newton for the first time with high…
[Abridged]We report on the broadband X-ray properties of a complete sample of absorbed Seyfert galaxies hard X-ray selected with INTEGRAL. The sample is composed of 33 sources: 15 are newly discovered above 20 keV while 18 are already known…
The determination of the broad (0.1-100 keV) spectra of active galaxies is crucial for understanding and discriminating among emission models, for estimating the properties of the Comptonising/reflecting region around the central black hole…
We present results based on the first INTEGRAL AGN catalogue. The catalogue includes 42 AGN, of which 10 are Seyfert 1, 17 are Seyfert 2, and 9 are intermediate Seyfert 1.5. The fraction of blazars is rather small with 5 detected objects,…
AGN are among the most energetic phenomena in the Universe and in the last two decades INTEGRAL's contribution in their study has had a significant impact. Thanks to the INTEGRAL extragalactic sky surveys, all classes of soft X-ray detected…
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is discovering hundreds of new hard X-ray sources, many of which remain unidentified. We report on optical spectroscopy of five such sources for which X-ray observations at…
We report on a new method to identify Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) among unidentified INTEGRAL sources. This method consists of cross-correlating unidentified sources listed in the fourth IBIS Survey Catalogue first with infrared and then…
We present results of an all-sky hard X-ray survey based on almost four years of observations with the IBIS telescope on board the INTEGRAL observatory. The dead time-corrected exposure of the survey is ~33 Ms. Approximately 12% and 80% of…
