The AGILE Mission
M. Tavani
AGILE is an Italian Space Agency mission dedicated to the observation of the gamma-ray Universe. The AGILE very innovative instrumentation combines for the first time a gamma-ray i…
The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance
David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23
We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera during 2006-2007
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +26
The Swift X-ray Telescope focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 135 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV as measured before launch. We describe t…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera
J. P. Osborne, A. P. Beardmore, O. Godet +23
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 144 eV FWHM at 6.5 keV. We describe the CCD calibration p…
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey HELLAS, III: testing synthesis models for the X-ray background
A. Comastri, F. Fiore, C. Vignali +3
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has surveyed several tens of square degrees of the sky in the 5--10 keV band down to a flux of about 5 10^-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The…
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey HELLAS, II: Number counts and X-ray spectral properties
F. Fiore, P. Giommi, C. Vignali +7
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has surveyed about 85 deg^2 of sky in the 5-10 keV band down to a flux of 4-5 10^-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The source surface density of…
