Abstract:We present the combined Chandra and Swift-BAT spectral analysis of nine low-redshift (z ≤ 0.10), candidate heavily obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected from the Swift-BAT 150-month catalog. We located soft (1−10 keV) X-ray counterparts to these BAT sources and joint fit their spectra with physically motivated models. The spectral analysis in the 1−150 keV energy band determined that all sources are obscured, with a line-of-sight column density N H ≥ 10 22 cm −2 at a 90% confidence level. Four of thes… Show more
