Abstract
- The INTEGRAL mission provides a large data set for studying the hard X-ray properties of AGN and allows to test the unified scheme for AGN. We present results based on the analysis of 199 AGN. A difference between the Seyfert types is detected in slightly flatter spectra with higher cut-off energies and lower luminosities for the type 2 AGN. When applying a Compton reflection model, the underlying continua (Γ≃1.95) appear the same in Seyfert 1 and 2, and the reflection strength is R≃1 in both cases, with differences in the inclination angle only. More luminous objects appear to be more massive and there is also a general trend for the absorbed sources and type 2 AGN to have lower Eddington ratios. The number counts are consistent with no evolution of the observed AGN. The unified model for Seyfert galaxies seems to hold, showing in hard X-rays that the central engine is the same in Seyfert 1 and 2 galaxies, seen under different inclination angle and absorption.
