IBIS/PICsIT in-flight performances
G. Di Cocco, E. Caroli, E. Celesti +11
PICsIT (Pixellated Imaging CaeSium Iodide Telescope) is the high energy detector of the IBIS telescope on-board the INTEGRAL satellite. PICsIT operates in the gamma-ray energy rang…
GRB 021219: the first Gamma-Ray Burst localized in real time with IBAS
S. Mereghetti, D. Gotz, V. Beckmann +5
On December 19, 2002, during the Performance and Verification Phase of INTEGRAL, a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) has been detected and localized in real time with the INTEGRAL Burst Alert…
First Results from the IBIS/ISGRI Data Obtained During the Galactic Plane Scan. II. The Vela Region
J. Rodriguez, M. Del Santo, F. Lebrun +13
We report on INTEGRAL/IBIS observations of the Vela region during a Galactic Plane Scan (hereafter GPS) presenting the IBIS in-flight performances during these operations. Among al…
Yet another galaxy identification for an ultraluminous X-ray source
N. Masetti, L. Foschini, L. C. Ho +4
We report on the identification of the optical and infrared counterparts of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) XMMU J121214.5+131248 (NGC4168-ULX1). The optical spectrum yields a…
Radiative acceleration and transient, radiation-induced electric fields
L. Zampieri, R. Turolla, L. Foschini +1
The radiative acceleration of particles and the electrostatic potential fields that arise in low density plasmas hit by radiation produced by a transient, compact source are invest…
Search for relativistic beaming in ultraluminous X-ray sources
L. Foschini, G. Malaguti, G. Di Cocco +3
The nature of the ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) is still to be understood. Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain the high X-ray luminosity: stellar mass black holes…
