%0 Journal Article %T Multiwavelength studies of hard X-ray selected sources %A Pietro Parisi %A for the IBIS Survey Team %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X Hard X-ray surveys like those provided by IBIS and BAT on board the INTEGRAL and Swift satellites list a significant number of sources which are unidentified and/or unclassified and which deserve multiwaveband observations to be properly characterized. In this work we have been able to follow up 148 such sources, finding 27 X-ray binaries and 121 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). From the AGN sample we extracted a set of 94 AGN, belonging to the INTEGRAL/IBIS and Swift/BAT surveys, for which we performed an X-ray study to determine absorption and 2-10 keV flux by means of XMM-Newton and Swift/XRT available observations. Using a new diagnostic diagram we identified a few peculiar sources which apparently do not fit within the AGN unified theory. Finally, we have compared the optical versus X-ray properties of these 94 AGN to study the optical reddening versus the X-ray absorption local to the AGN %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.3525v1
