Scientific paper

The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), while not focused on a Gamma-ray burst, conducts an all-sky survey in the 14 - 195 keV band. After the first 9 months, the BAT has detected a sample of 153 local (z 0.03) AGN at a flux limit of a few times 10-11 erg/s/cm-2 (Tueller et al. 2007). Since the AGN were detected at very high X-ray energies, they are an unbiased sample towards column densities below 1025 cm-2. We present the X-ray and optical properties of a sample of the BAT AGN, including an analysis of the 0.3-10 keV X-ray spectra (Winter et al. 2008) and optical spectra obtained from the literature, SDSS, and our own KPNO 2.1-m observations.
