Observations of Sy2 galaxy NGC 3281 by XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL satellites
We present the results of the analysis of X-ray properties of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3281, based on the observational data obtained by XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL within the energy ranges 0.2-12 keV and 20-150 keV, respectively. The XMM-Newton spectrum of this object is presented for the first time. W...
