On the nature of bimodal initial velocity distribution of neutron stars
I. Bombaci, S. B. Popov
We propose that the bimodal nature of the kick velocity distribution of radio pulsars is connected with the dichotomy between hadronic stars ({\it i.e.} neutron stars with no quark…
A far infrared view of the Lockman Hole from ISO 95 m observations - I. A new data reduction method
G. Rodighiero, C. Lari, A. Franceschini +2
We report results of a new analysis of a deep 95 mu imaging survey with the photo-polarimeter ISOPHOT on board the Infrared Space Observatory, over a half square degree area within…
A direct view of the AGN powering IRAS12393+3520
M. Guainazzi, M. Dennefeld, L. Piro +3
We report the first direct X-ray evidence that an AGN is hidden in the center of IRAS12393+3520. An ASCA observation of this target unveiled a bright (0.5-10 keV luminosity 3.9 x 1…
Background Radiation
G. De Zotti, A. Franceschini, L. Toffolatti +2
We present a short overview on the extragalactic background radiation from radio to X-rays, with an eye to the relation to galaxy formation and emphasizing on astrophysical backgro…
