XMM-Newton observations of the TeV BL Lac object PKS 2155--304 in 2006: signature of inverse Compton X-ray emission?

Y. H. Zhang

This paper reports the first discovery of possible inverse Compoton (IC) X-ray emission below 10 keV in the typical high-energy peaked BL Lac object (HBL) PKS 2155--304. Two XMM-Ne…

XMM-Newton View of PKS 2155-304: Characterizing the X-ray Variability Properties with EPIC-PN

Y. H. Zhang, A. Treves, A. Celotti +2

Starting from XMM-Newton EPIC-PN data, we present the X-ray variability characteristics of PKS 2155-304 using a simple analysis of the excess variance, \xs, and of the fractional r…

Fast X-ray Variability of PKS 2155-304: A Cross Correlation Analysis

A. Treves, Y. H. Zhang, A. Celotti +7

PKS 2155-304 is one of the prototypes of BL Lac objects. Its spectral energy distribution is known from the radio to the TeV band and has two peaks, one in the soft X-rays and the…

BeppoSAX Observations of PKS 2155-304 during an active Gamma-ray State

L. Maraschi, L. Chiappetti, F. Tavecchio +8

PKS 2155-304 was observed with BeppoSAX in November 1997 for 64 ksec (total elapsed time 33.5 hours) and, for the first time, simultaneously in gamma-rays with EGRET on board the C…
