| Abstract | We study the NH distribution in a complete sample of 88 active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected in the 20-40 keV band from INTEGRAL/Imager on Board the Integral Satellite (IBIS) observations. We find that the fraction of absorbed (NH >= 1022cm2) sources is 43 per cent while the Compton thick AGN comprise 7 per cent of the sample. While these estimates are fully compatible wit ... |
