Abstract

High-energy, high-resolution in the spatial and energy domains is crucial to derive the geometrical distribution and the physical properties of gas and dust surrounding Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). These are, in turn, basic ingredients of any serious attempt to build an AGN structure model. We present in this paper CIELO-AGN, the first catalogue of ionized emission lines detected in the soft X-ray spectra of a sample of 69 nearby obscured AGN. This catalogue has been implemented according to an IVOA data model, and can be accessed through VO-compatible applications.
