Observing blazars in hard-X rays with a photon field (SSC/EC) Giommi 07 Blazars are extremely variable - rare objects (<5% all AGNs) that can be detected in hard-X (>10 keV) through large area surveys: Because of the rarity and low space density of blazars, "pencil beam" surveys (..) are poorly suited for finding blazars..

Characterising the X-ray spectra 2-10 keV observations with XMM, Chandra, XRT We built a broadband spectrum 0.1-200 keV for 9 sources (more are coming) Main Results Flattening wrt a power-law in the soft X-rays range : If due tointrinsic absorption -> Nh vs redshift evolution Finding peculiar sources: blue quasar candidate IGR J22517+2218 - possible bulk Compton motion in 4C 04.42 A.

Characterising the X-ray spectra Evidence of flattening below 2 keV (rest frame) has been found in several high-z QSO up to z=4.4 (Yuan et al. 2006) Intrinsic curvature - absorption (cold/warm) Clear trend NH vs z has been measured Excess of emission has be found in very few cases (Sambruna et al. 2006, Kataoka et al. 2007, De Rosa et al. 2008) A.

New sources X-rays coverage: XMM large programme for INTEGRAL (hard-X rays selected) AGNs is actually on going, and we hope so for the near future.. AO9..? Simultaneous observations: Gamma-rays & TeV energy ranges Define a complete sample of hard X-rays selected blazars Populations study: are FSRQs and BLLacs two separate classes?
