Sub-mm and X-ray background: two unrelated phenomena?
P. Severgnini, R. Maiolino, M. Salvati +9
Obscured AGNs are thought to contribute a large fraction of the hard X-ray background (2-10 keV), and have also been proposed as the powerhouse of a fraction of the SCUBA sources w…
The hard X-ray emission of luminous infrared galaxies
G. Risaliti, R. Gilli, R. Maiolino +1
We present a study of the hard X-ray properties of a sample that includes all the Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIGs, L_IR > 10^11 L_sun) observed in the 2-10 keV energy band (new an…
Optically dim counterparts of hard X-ray selected AGNs
R. Maiolino, M. Salvati, L. A. Antonelli +9
We present near-IR photometry and imaging observations of a small sample of sources identified in the BeppoSAX 5-10 keV survey (HELLAS) which resolves ~ 20-30% of the X-ray backgro…
The hard X-ray properties of the Seyfert nucleus in NGC 1365
G. Risaliti, R. Maiolino, L. Bassani
We present BeppoSAX observations of the Seyfert 1.8 galaxy NGC1365 in the 0.1--100 keV range. The source was 6 times brighter than during an ASCA observation 3 years earlier. The 4…
The X-ray properties of luminous infrared galaxies and their contribution to the X-ray background
G. Risaliti
We present a study of a sample of luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs, L_IR > 10^11 L_sun) observed in the hard (2-10 keV) X rays. The main results are: 1) most LIGs are powered both…
