We report broad band (0.1-200 keV) X-ray observations, made by BeppoSAX, of a sample of bright Seyfert 2 galaxies: NGC7172, NGC2110, NGC4507, Mkn 3 and NGC7674. These spectra provide a better understanding of the effects of X-ray reprocessing by cold material in the source and allow to put tighter constraints on the various spectral parameters involved. In particular, the data are used to determine, with less ambiguities than in the past, the shape of the intrinsic continuum emission by means of the high energy data. Within the small sample both Compton thin and Compton thick sources are found according to the expectations of the unified theory.
We report on BeppoSAX broad band (0.1-100 keV) observations of bright Seyfert 2 galaxies and discuss the results in the framework of the unified theory of AGNs. The data are used to probe Nh distribution in type 2 objects and to identify heavily abso
This paper aims to understand the continuum of Seyfert 2 galaxies. By fitting the single galaxies in the sample of Heckman et al. (1995) with composite models (shock+ photoionization from the active center), we show that five main components characte
We used high quality BeppoSAX data of 6 Seyfert galaxies to test realistic thermal Comptonization models. Our main effort was to adopt a Comptonization model taking into account the anisotropy of the soft photon field. The best fit parameter values o
We present a X-ray spectroscopic study of the bright Compton-thick Seyfert 2s NGC1068 and the Circinus Galaxy, performed with BeppoSAX. Matt et al. (1997 and 1998) interpreted the spectrum above 4 keV as the superposition of Compton reflection and wa
We test accurate models of Comptonisation spectra over BeppoSAX observations of Seyfert galaxies focusing on the long look at NGC 5548. The hot plasma temperature derived with these models is significantly higher than that obtained fitting the same d
