The NuSTAR Local AGN N H Distribution Survey (NuLANDS). I. Toward a Truly Representative Column Density Distribution in the Local Universe

Hard X-ray-selected samples of active galactic nuclei (AGN) provide one of the cleanest views of supermassive black hole accretion but are biased against objects obscured by Compton-thick gas column densities of N _H > 10 ^24 cm ^−2 . To tackle this issue, we present the NuSTAR Local AGN N _H Dis...
