XMM-Newton Survey of a Distance-limited Sample of Seyfert Galaxies: Preliminary Spectral Results
M. Cappi, G. Di Cocco, F. Panessa +19
An unbiased estimate of the average intrinsic X-ray properties and column density distribution of Seyfert galaxies in the local Universe is crucial to validate unified models of ac…
Diffuse Thermal Emission from Very Hot Gas in Starburst Galaxies
M. Cappi, M. Persic, L. Bassani +7
BeppoSAX observations of the nearby archetypical starburst galaxies NGC253 and M82 are presented. Spectral analysis shows that the 2-10 keV spectra of both galaxies, extracted from…
BeppoSAX uncovers the hidden Seyfert 1 nucleus in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110
G. Malaguti, L. Bassani, M. Cappi +11
The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 has been observed with BeppoSAX between 0.5 and 150 keV. The high energy instrument onboard, PDS, has succeeded in measuring for the first time the sp…
BeppoSAX Observations of Bright Seyfert 2 Galaxies: Measuring the Intrinsic Continuum Emission
L. Bassani, M. Cappi, G. Malaguti +19
We report broad band (0.1-200 keV) X-ray observations, made by BeppoSAX, of a sample of bright Seyfert 2 galaxies: NGC7172, NGC2110, NGC4507, Mkn 3 and NGC7674. These spectra provi…
Diffuse Thermal Emission from Very Hot Gas in Starburst Galaxies: Spectral Results
M. Cappi, M. Persic, S. Mariani +12
New BeppoSAX observations of the nearby archetypical starburst galaxies (SBGs) NGC253 and M82 are presented. The main observational result is the unambiguous evidence that the hard…
BeppoSAX detection of the Fe K line in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253
M. Persic, S. Mariani, M. Cappi +12
We present BeppoSAX results on the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. Although extended, a large fraction of the X-ray emission comes from the nuclear region. Preliminary analysis of…
