The Compton-thick AGN in the GPS radio source OQ+208
M. Guainazzi, C. Stanghellini, P. Grandi
We report in this paper the ASCA discovery of the first radio-loud Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) covered by a Compton-thick X-ray absorber, in the GigaHertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) r…
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…
The complex 0.1-200 keV spectrum of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC4593
M. Guainazzi, G. C. Perola, G. Matt +5
We report on the first observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC4593 in the 0.1-200 keV band, performed with the BeppoSAX observatory. Its spectral components are for the first time…
BeppoSAX confirms extreme relativistic effects in the X-ray spectrum of MCG-6-30-15
M. Guainazzi, G. Matt, S. Molendi +8
We report the first simultaneous measure of the X-ray broadband (0.1--200 keV) continuum and of the iron K-alpha fluorescent line profile in the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. Our d…
