X-ray and optical coverage of 3EG J0616-3310 and 3EG J1249-8330
N. La Palombara, G. F. Bignami, P. Caraveo +4
The limited angular resolution of gamma-ray telescopes prevents the straight identification of the majority of the sources detected so far. This is particularly true for the low la…
The EPIC/MOS view of the 2-8 keV Cosmic X-ray Background Spectrum
A. De Luca, S. Molendi
We have measured the spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) in the 2-8 keV range with the high throughput EPIC/MOS instrument onboard XMM-Newton. A large sample of high gala…
Geminga: a tale of two tails, and much more
P. A. Caraveo, G. F. Bignami, A. De Luca +5
We report on the deep (100 ksec) XMM-Newton/EPIC observation of the field of the Geminga pulsar. The unprecedented throughput of the instrument allowed to detect two elongated para…
1E1207.4-5209 - a Unique Object
G. F. Bignami, A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo +3
The discovery of deep spectral features in the X-ray spectrum of 1E1207.4-5209 focussed the attention of the astronomical community on this radio-quiet NS, making it the most inten…
