Diffuse Thermal Emission from Very Hot Gas in Starburst Galaxies
M. Cappi, M. Persic, L. Bassani +7
BeppoSAX observations of the nearby archetypical starburst galaxies NGC253 and M82 are presented. Spectral analysis shows that the 2-10 keV spectra of both galaxies, extracted from…
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 uncovers the hidden Seyfert 1 nucleus in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110
G. Malaguti, L. Bassani, M. Cappi +11
The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 has been observed with BeppoSAX between 0.5 and 150 keV. The high energy instrument onboard, PDS, has succeeded in measuring for the first time the sp…
Diffuse Thermal Emission from Very Hot Gas in Starburst Galaxies: Spectral Results
M. Cappi, M. Persic, S. Mariani +12
New BeppoSAX observations of the nearby archetypical starburst galaxies (SBGs) NGC253 and M82 are presented. The main observational result is the unambiguous evidence that the hard…
BeppoSAX detection of the Fe K line in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253
M. Persic, S. Mariani, M. Cappi +12
We present BeppoSAX results on the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. Although extended, a large fraction of the X-ray emission comes from the nuclear region. Preliminary analysis of…
Hard X--ray detection of NGC 1068 with BeppoSAX
G. Matt, M. Guainazzi, F. Frontera +14
We report on the first detection above ~10 keV of the archetypal Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. This detection, obtained with the PDS instrument onboard BeppoSAX in the 2…
