Abstract:

Analysis of Suzaku observations selected from the BAT 58-month catalog has shown extreme hard X-ray excesses to exist in ~70% of type 1 AGN, and these can be modeled by partial-covering of Compton-thick gas. This new result shows the importance of broad X-ray coverage, currently available only with Suzaku. The most extreme of the sample sources, MCG-03-34-64 and NGC 1194, show significant spectral and flux variability above 10 keV, likely attributable to changes in the Compton-thick absorber. We request new observations of MCG-03-34-64 (150 ks) and NGC 1194 (200 ks) to study the X-ray reprocessor in these extreme systems, confirm the high-energy spectral variability and constrain the nature and location of the Compton-thick absorber.
