Pie chart describing the overall results of the spectroscopic analysis of the X-HESS sources. In most cases, the broadband X-ray continuum (E = 0.3 − 10 keV) can be reproduced well by a power-law model, modified by Galactic absorption. In the remaining ∼40% of the observations, an excess of soft X-ray emission is found. Approximately ∼12% of the X-ray spectra of the X-HESS AGNs reveal the presence of at least one emission and/or absorption feature due to the interaction of the primary continuum with either cold or ionised gas clouds.
