Jets at all scales
F. Tavecchio
I discuss recent developments in the field of relativistic jets in AGNs. After a brief review of our current knowledge of emission from Blazars, I discuss some consequences of the…
Two BeppoSAX observations of BL Lac
G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini, M. Ravasio +14
We present the results of two ToO BeppoSAX observations of BL Lac. During the first observation we detected both the synchrotron and the Compton components. Fast time variability w…
Looking for High Energy Peaked Blazars
L. Costamante, G. Ghisellini, A. Celotti +10
Blazars can be classified on the basis of their overall Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). BL Lac objects are usually divided in LBL or HBL (Low or High energy peaked BL Lacs), ac…
X-ray variability and prediction of TeV emission in the HBL 1ES1101-232
A. Wolter, F. Tavecchio, A. Caccianiga +2
1ES1101-232 is a bright BL Lac of the High frequency peak class. We present here the results of two BeppoSAX observations in which the source has shown a variation of about 30% in…
The concave X-ray spectrum of the blazar ON 231: the signature of intermediate BL Lac objects
G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini, P. Giommi +17
ON 231 was observed with BeppoSAX in May and June 1998, following an exceptional optical outburst which occured in April--May. We measured the X-ray spectrum from 0.1 up to 100 keV…
X-ray Rapid Variability of MKN 421
A. Treves, Y. H. Zhang, F. Tavecchio +7
We present a detailed Cross Correlation analysis of the light curves of the X-ray bright BL Lac object Mkn 421 observed with SAX period 1997-1998. Monte Carlo simulations ar…
