Simbol-X: A Formation Flight Mission with an Unprecedented Imaging Capability in the 0.5-80 Kev Energy Band
Gianpiero Tagliaferri, Philippe Ferrando, Jean-Michel Le Duigou +8
The discovery of X-ray emission from cosmic sources in the 1960s has opened a new powerful observing window on the Universe. In fact, the exploration of the X-ray sky during the 70…
The metamorphosis of Supernova SN2008D/XRF080109: a link between Supernovae and GRBs/Hypernovae
Paolo A. Mazzali, Stefano Valenti, Massimo Della Valle +38
The only supernovae (SNe) to have shown early gamma-ray or X-ray emission thus far are overenergetic, broad-lined Type Ic SNe (Hypernovae - HNe). Recently, SN 2008D shows several n…
The short GRB070707 afterglow and its very faint host galaxy
S. Piranomonte, P. D'Avanzo, S. Covino +18
We present the results from an ESO/VLT campaign aimed at studying the afterglow properties of the short/hard gamma ray burst GRB 070707. Observations were carried out at ten differ…
Science with Simbol-X
F. Fiore, M. Arnaud, U. Briel +20
Simbol-X is a French-Italian mission, with a participation of German laboratories, for X-ray astronomy in the wide 0.5-80 keV band. Taking advantage of emerging technology in mirro…
The Simbol-X view of the unresolved X-ray background
A. Comastri, R. Gilli, F. Fiore +3
We will briefly discuss the importance of sensitive X-ray observations above 10 keV for a better understanding of the physical mechanisms associated to the Supermassive Black Hole…
Heavily obscured AGN with BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL, SWIFT, XMM and Chandra: prospects for Simbol-X
R. Della Ceca, P. Severgnini, A. Caccianiga +6
According to the latest versions of synthesis modeling of the Cosmic X-ray Background, Compton Thick AGN should represent ~50% of the total absorbed AGN population. However, despit…
