Scientific paper

In cooperation with DARA the authors are planning the small X-ray satellite mission ABRIXAS (A Broadband Imaging X-ray All-sky Survey), extending the ROSAT survey to the harder X-ray band (0.5-10 keV) with an angular resolution better than 1'. As a pathfinder mission, ideally before XMM and AXAF, it can pinpoint objects obscured for soft X-rays by absorbing gas and dust. Its main goal is to study the absorbed AGN population and its contribution to the X-ray background.
