Abstract
Based on RXTE scans and observations with the SWIFT/XRT telescope and INTEGRAL observatory, we report the identification of four X-ray sources discovered during the RXTE Slew Survey of the $\vert b\vert>10^\circ$ sky with nearby ( $z\sim0.017{-}0.098$) luminous ( $L_{\rm 2-10~keV}\sim 5\times 10^{42}{-}10^{44}$ erg s-1) active galactic nuclei. Two of the objects exhibit heavily intrinsically absorbed X-ray spectra ( $N_\mathrm{H}\sim 10^{23}$ cm-2).

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
