Description
We present results for a sample of absorbed Broad-line Active Galactic Nuclei (BLAGN) se-lected from a cross-correlation of the 2XMMi and Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 catalogues. These sources are selected in X-ray to have 0.5-2 versus 2-4.5 keV X-ray hardness ratios which are harder than the X-ray background and in the same time to have broad (>2000 km/s) optical emission lines. We performed X-ray analysis of our sample. In order to answer to the question where absorption comes from, we constructed spectral energy distributions (SED) for our sources and compared with ones from a control sample of classical unabsorbed AGN.
