| Suzaku Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei Detected in the Swift/BAT Survey: Discovery of "New Type" of Buried Supermassive Black Holes (2007) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We present the Suzaku broad band observations of two AGNs detected by the Swift/BAT hard X-ray (>15 keV) survey that did not have previous X-ray data, Swift J0601.9-8636 and Swift J0138.6-4001. The Suzaku spectra reveals in both objects a heavily absorbed power law component with a column density of NH =~ 10^{23.5-24} cm^{-2} that dominates above 10 keV, and an intense reflection component with a solid angle >~ $2\pi$ from a cold, optically thick medium. We find that these AGNs have an extremely small fraction of scattered light from the nucleus, . Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ Letter | |||||||||
