Scientific paper

Recent surveys discovered that 50% of AGN are hosted by massive galaxies with luminosities and colors typical of ellipticals/S0s. These findings defy the paradigm of ``local AGN=Seyferts in blue galaxies , which held for the last 30 years. How do these systems differ from classically-selected AGN? We propose EPIC observations of 7 z<0.1 AGN, selected in an unbiased way at energies > 10 keV with Swift BAT in early-type hosts. Carrying the imprints of the conditions of matter in the inner accretion flow, medium-hard X-ray observations are essential to unveil the true nature of these systems.
