Description
This paper presents the results of a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of
a sample of 123 X-ray sources detected with XMM-Newton in the Lockman
Hole field. This is the deepest observation carried out with XMM-Newton
with more that 600ks of good EPIC-pn data. We have spectra with good
signal to noise (>500 source counts) for all objects down to
0.2-12keV fluxes of 5x10-15erg/cm2/s (flux limit
of 6x10-16erg/cm2/s in the 0.5-2 and 2-10keV
bands). At the time of the analysis, we had optical spectroscopic
identifications for 60% of the sources, 46 being optical type-1 AGN and
28 optical type-2 AGN. Using a single power law model our sources'
average spectral slope hardens at faint 0.5-2keV fluxes but not at faint
2-10keV fluxes.
