XMM-LSS survey: AGN classifications

We present a sample of 99 spectroscopically identified (R<=22mag) X-ray selected point sources in the XMM-LSS survey which are significantly detected (>=3{sigma}) in the [2-10]keV band with fluxes between 8x10^-15^ and 8x10^-14^erg/s/cm^2^, and which have more than 80 counts.

We have compared their X-ray and optical classifications. To this end, we performed an X-ray spectral analysis for all of these 99 X-ray sources in order to assess whether they are intrinsically absorbed or not. The X-ray classification is based on the measured intrinsic column density.
