Scientific paper

The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is creating the most-sensitive all-sky survey in the penetrating 14-195 keV band, providing the least-biased sample of bright local AGNs. We propose XMM-Newton spectral characterization of 16 AGNs from the 22-month BAT catalog that will complete a sample of 47 AGNs in 4800 square degrees. This will allow complete and in-depth X-ray spectral characterization of the most-representative local AGN sample to date. We will derive the best-available distributions of AGN X-ray properties including absorption column density, absorption complexity, iron K emission, scattered emission, ionized edges, and luminosity. Our bright local templates will aid greatly in the understanding of distant AGNs in deep surveys.
