Characteristics of the X-ray Spectra for Active Galactic Nuclei from the SRG/ART-XC All-Sky Survey Based on Swift/XRT Archival Data
摘要
We present the results of our analysis of the X-ray spectra for 101 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the catalog of sources detected by the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope onboard the SRG orbital observatory during the first five all-sky surveys (ARTSS1–5). This study has been performed to create a statistically complete AGN population database based on this catalog. The Swift/XRT archival data in the 1–10 keV energy band have been used. We have fitted the spectra by a power-law model with absorption and, for six sources, also considered a model with an additional component of the radiation reflected from a dusty torus. For all of the objects we have estimated the slope of the power-law continuum, the intrinsic absorption column density, and the absorption-corrected X-ray flux for the first time. Most of the investigated AGNs are characterized by weak intrinsic absorption; the absorption column density is
