摘要
X-ray selected AGN posess a wide range of absorption properties that challenge and broaden the concepts of AGN Unification. Objects that seem unabsorbed optically can show evidence for large absorbing columns in the X-rays, while heavily optically-reddened objects may show little such evidence. Most previous samples are heterogeneous both in selection and measurement. The Chandra Multiwave-length Project (ChaMP) is producing a large sample of X-ray selected AGN out to redshift 5 via deep optical followup of serendipitous sources in the Chandra archive. We have developed software which uses CIAO and Sherpa to to automatically extract ChaMP point source spectra and fit a variety of spectral models. We present the results of fitting and investigate the correlation of total gas absorption and continuum power-law index with luminosity, redshift, and spectral class. In addition to fitting each object individually, we make use of simultaneous fitting of many objects to improve the signal to noise within luminosity or redshift bins.
