BL Lacertae: the multiwavelength campaign of 2000
M. Ravasio, G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini +9
We present two BeppoSAX observations of BL Lacertae as part of a multiwavelength radio-to-TeV campaign. During the first observation we observe a faint Compton spectrum, while duri…
Testing Comptonisation models using BeppoSAX observations of Seyfert 1 galaxies
P. O. Petrucci, F. Haardt, L. Maraschi +7
We have used realistic Comptonization models to fit high quality BeppoSAX data of 6 Seyfert galaxies. Our main effort was to adopt a Comptonization model taking into account the an…
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…
A Self-Consistent Test of Comptonisation Models Using Bepposax Observations of Seyfert Galaxies
P. O. Petrucci, F. Haardt, L. Maraschi +6
We test accurate models of Comptonisation spectra over BeppoSAX observations of Seyfert galaxies focusing on the long look at NGC 5548. The hot plasma temperature derived with thes…
BeppoSAX observations of Mrk 509 and MCG+8-11-11
G. C. Perola, G. Matt, F. Fiore +7
BeppoSAX observations of the Seyfert galaxies Mrk 509 and MCG+8-11-11 are presented. Earlier evidence of a soft excess in Mrk 509 is confirmed. This excess is found to be better re…
