Scientific paper

An XMM-Newton catalogue of BL Lac X-ray properties is presented based on a cross-correlation with the 1122 BL Lac objects listed in the 12th edition of the Véron-Cetty and Véron (2006) catalogue. X-ray counterparts were searched for in the field of view of more than 5000 pointed observations available in the XMM-Newton Archive (XSA) that were public before February 2008. The cross-correlation yielded a total of 214 XMM-Newton observations, which after filtering, corresponds to 64 different sources. X-ray data from the three EPIC cameras were uniformly analyzed using the latest XMM-Newton Science Analysis System (SAS) version and correspondant calibration files. The results of the analysis are presented in terms of the spectral properties of the sample in the 0.2-10 keV energy band.
