| Abstract: | We present here some initial results from the ongoing XMM-Newton bright serendipitous survey. The survey is aimed at selecting
and spectroscopically identifying a large and statistically representative sample of bright (f
x ≳ 7× 10−14 c.g.s) serendipitous X-ray sources in the 0.5–4.5 keV energy band (BSS) and a complementary (smaller) sample in the 4.5–7.5
keV energy band (HBSS).
The work is partly based on observations obtained with XMM-Newton, an ESA science mission with instruments and contributors directly founded by ESA member states and the USA(NASA) and on
observations collected at TNG. The TNG telescope is operated on the island of La Palma by the Centro Galileo Galilei of the
INAF in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.
