However only a few NLSy1 > 10 keV Narrow Line Seyfert 1s NLSy1 are a sub-class of type 1 Seyfert with peculiar optical properties In X-RAYs: Steeper intrinsic hard X-ray continuum - Compton cooling of AD? Strong soft excess and extreme rapid variability High energy hump, reflection/light bending models Small black hole mass - High Eddington ratio! BROAD-BAND data are crucial to define the continuum and discriminate models However only a few NLSy1 > 10 keV
High energy observations of Narrow Line Seyfert 1s (Malizia et al. 2008) Five Hard X-ray selected NLSy1s: Analysis of the previous IBIS catalogue spectra combined with Swift/XRT Steep power law spectrum above 10 keV Absent or absorbed soft excess Low high energy cut-off (3/5: 30-50 keV)
