Scientific paper

The Swift BAT is creating the most-sensitive all-sky 14-195 keV survey, providing the least-biased sample of bright local AGNs. We propose spectral characterization of 6 AGNs from the 22-month BAT catalog that will complete a spectral survey of 47 AGNs in 4800 square degrees; these were accepted at priority C in our larger AO-8 program. Our survey 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 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 understanding distant AGNs in deep surveys.
