Swift Hard X-ray selected AGN
Abstract
The Swift BAT survey has detected over 150 AGN over the high latitude sky during the first 15 months of the Swift mission. The identification rate is >90% based on x-ray follow-up observations. We will present the 15-200 keV logN-log S and luminosity function and directly compare these to results from other wavelength bands. We will also show the distribution of x-ray column density, the fraction of Compton thick objects and correlations with soft x-ray, IR and optical data.
