In flight calibration of the ISGRI camera

Regis Terrier, F. Lebrun, A. Bazzano +12

ISGRI, the IBIS low energy camera (15 keV - 1 MeV) on board INTEGRAL, is the first large CdTe gamma-ray imager in orbit. We present here an overview of the ISGRI in-flight calibrat…

X-ray/optical observations of A0535+26/HDE 245770 in quiescence

M. Orlandini, C. Bartolini, S. Campana +10

We present the result of three BeppoSAX observations of the X-ray binary pulsar A0535+26 in its quiescent state. The source is quite well detected up to 200 keV (6 sigma detection…

BeppoSAX observations of rotation-powered pulsars

G. Cusumano

During its life, BeppoSAX observed several isolated pulsars, giving important contributions to the knowledge of the phenomenology and properties of the X-ray emission from this cla…

The phase of the radio and X-ray pulses of PSR B1937+21

G. Cusumano, W. Hermsen, M. Kramer +6

We present timing and spectral results of PSR B1937+21, the fastest known millisecond pulsar (P about 1.56 ms), observed with RXTE. The pulse profile, detected up to 20 keV, shows…

The X-ray emission of the Crab-like pulsar PSR J0537-6910

T. Mineo, G. Cusumano, E. Massaro

In this paper we present some preliminary result on the spectral and timing analysis of the X-ray pulsed emission from the 16 ms pulsar PSR J0537-6910 in the energy range 0.1--30 k…

IBIS preliminary results on Cygnus X-1 spectral and temporal characteristics

A. Bazzano, A. J. Bird, F. Capitanio +11

We report preliminary results of a broadband spectral and temporal study of the black-hole binary Cyg X-1 performed with the IBIS telescope. Cyg X-1 was the first pointed celestial…

First IBIS results on the high energy emission of Cyg X-2

L. Natalucci, M. Del Santo, P. Ubertini +4

The bright low-mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2 was in the field of view of the IBIS telescope during the early Cygnus region observations, executed during the INTEGRAL Performance Verifi…

GRB021125: the first GRB imaged by INTEGRAL

G. Malaguti, A. Bazzano, V. Beckmann +12

In the late afternoon of November 25, 2002 a gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected in the partially coded field of view (about 7.3 deg from the centre) of the imager IBIS on board the…

Spectral and Temporal Behavior of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1118+480 as Observed with BeppoSAX

F. Frontera, L. Amati, A. A. Zdziarski +5

XTE J1118+480 is a well established black hole candidate with a mass estimate in the range from 7 to 10 solar masses. With BeppoSAX we observed the source 4 times, from April to De…

Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB020405 afterglow

N. Masetti, E. Palazzi, E. Pian +33

(Abridged) We report on observations of the optical and NIR afterglow of GRB020405. Ground-based optical observations started about 1 day after the GRB and spanned a period of ~10…

The dark burst 010214 with BeppoSAX: possible variable absorption and jet X-ray emission

C. Guidorzi, F. Frontera, E. Montanari +12

We report on the prompt and afterglow emission observations of the dark burst GRB010214 with BeppoSAX. The prompt emission shows possible evidence of variable absorption from N_H =…
