Abstract: Let $T:H_{1}ightarrow{H}_2$ be a bounded linear operator defined between complex Hilbert spaces $H_1$ and $H_2$. We say $T$ to be extit{minimum attaining} if there exists a unit vector $xin{H}_1$ such that $|Tx|=m(T)$, where $m(T):=inf|Tx|:xin{H}_1,;|x|=1$ is the extit{minimum modulus} of $T$. We say $T$ to be extit{absolutely minimum attaining} ($mathcalAM$-operators in short), if for any closed subspace $M$ of $H_1$ the restriction operator $T{|}_M:Mightarrow{H}_2$ is minimum attaining. In this paper, we give a new characterization of positive absolutely minimum attaining operators ($mathcalAM$-operators, in short), in terms of its essential spectrum. Using this we obtain a sufficient condition under which the adjoint of an $mathcalAM$-operator is $mathcalAM$. We show that a paranormal absolutely minimum attaining operator is hyponormal. Finally, we establish a spectral decomposition of normal absolutely minimum attaining operators. In proving all these results we prove several spectral results for paranormal operators. We illustrate our main result with an example.
