Multiwavelength studies of hard X-ray selected sources
  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
