Description


We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of the non-beamed, hard X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the northern Galactic cap of the 58 month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift/BAT) catalog, consisting of 100 AGNs with b>50{deg}. This sky area has excellent potential for further dedicated study due to a wide range of multi-wavelength data that are already available, and we propose it as a low-redshift analog to the "deep field" observations of AGNs at higher redshifts (e.g., CDFN/S, COSMOS, Lockman Hole). We present distributions of luminosity, absorbing column density, and other key quantities for the catalog. We use a consistent approach to fit new and archival X-ray data gathered from XMM-Newton, Swift/XRT, ASCA, and Swift/BAT. We probe to deeper redshifts than the 9 month BAT catalog (<z>=0.043 compared to <z>=0.03 for the 9 month catalog), and uncover a broader absorbing column density distribution. The fraction of obscured (logN_H_>=22) objects in the sample is ~60%, and 43%-56% of the sample exhibits "complex" 0.4-10keV spectra. We present the average 1-10keV spectrum for the sample, which reproduces the 1-10keV X-ray background slope as found for the brighter 9 month BAT AGN sample.
