Prospects for High Energy Studies of Pulsars with the AGILE Gamma-Ray Telescope
A. Pellizzoni, A. Chen, M. Conti +4
AGILE is a small gamma-ray astronomy satellite, with good spatial resolution, excellent timing capabilities and an unprecedented large field of view (~1/5 of the sky). It will be t…
The BeppoSAX View on the 2001 Reactivation of SGR 1900+14
M. Feroci, S. Mereghetti, E. Costa +13
After a couple of years of quiescence, the soft gamma repeater SGR 1900+14 suddenly reactivated on 18 April 2001, with the emission of a very intense, long and modulated flare, onl…
SuperAGILE: the X-ray Monitor of the AGILE gamma-ray Mission
M. Feroci, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +15
SuperAGILE is the X-ray stage of the AGILE gamma-ray mission. It is devoted to monitor X-ray (10-40 keV) sources with a sensitivity better than 10 mCrabs in 50 ks and to detect X-r…
BeppoSAX Observations of the Soft Gamma-Ray Repeater SGR 1806-20
S. Mereghetti, D. Cremonesi, M. Feroci +1
We have observed with the BeppoSAX satellite the quiescent counterpart of the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR 1806-20. Observations performed in October 1998 and in March 1999 showed t…
The AGILE gamma-ray detector
A. Morselli, A. Perrino, P. Picozza +6
The gamma-ray detector AGILE, operating in the energy range from 30 MeV to 50 GeV, is composed by a tracking part, a light calorimeter and an anticoincidence system. Here we descri…
BeppoSAX Observations of the galactic source GS1826-238 in a hard X-ray high state
Stefano Del Sordo, Filippo Frontera, Elena Pian +7
The BeppoSAX Narrow Field Instruments observed the galactic source GS1826-238 in October 1997, following a hard X-ray outburst with a peak flux of about 100 mCrab detected by BATSE…
