The TRILL project: increasing the technological readiness of Laue lenses
Lisa Ferro, Enrico Virgilli, Miguel Moita +16
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy (> 100 keV) is a crucial field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the 511 keV positron annihilation line in the Galactic ce…
CdTe Spectroscopic-Imager Measurements with Bent Crystals for Broad Band Laue Lenses
N. Auricchio, L. Ferro, J. B. Stephen +15
In astrophysics, several key questions in the hard X soft Gamma-ray range (above 100 keV) require sensitivity and angular resolution that are hardly achievable with current technol…
All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory: Exploring the Extreme Multimessenger Universe
Julie McEnery, Juan Abel Barrio, Ivan Agudo +182
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) is a probe class mission concept that will provide essential contributions to multimessenger astrophysics in the late 2020s…
Active and passive shielding design optimization and technical solutions for deep sensitivity hard X-ray focusing telescopes
G. Malaguti, G. Pareschi, P. Ferrando +12
The 10-100 keV region of the electromagnetic spectrum contains the potential for a dramatic improvement in our understanding of a number of key problems in high energy astrophysics…
Spectral and Temporal Behavior of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1118+480 as Observed with BeppoSAX
F. Frontera, L. Amati, A. A. Zdziarski +5
XTE J1118+480 is a well established black hole candidate with a mass estimate in the range from 7 to 10 solar masses. With BeppoSAX we observed the source 4 times, from April to De…
A measurement of the broad-band spectrum of XTE J1118+480 with BeppoSAX and its astrophysical implications
F. Frontera, A. A. Zdziarski, L. Amati +12
We report on results of a target of opportunity observation of the X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 performed on 2000 April 14-15 with the Narrow Field Instruments (0.1-200 keV) of th…
Discovery of a Transient Absorption Edge in the X-ray Spectrum of GRB 990705
L. Amati, F. Frontera, M. Vietri +18
We report the discovery of a transient equivalent hydrogen column density with an absorption edge at ~3.8 kiloelectron volts in the spectrum of the prompt x-ray emission of gamma-r…
ASCA and BeppoSAX observations of the peculiar X-ray source 4U1700+24/HD154791
D. Dal Fiume, N. Masetti, C. Bartolini +9
The X-ray source 4U1700+24/HD154791 is one of the few galactic sources whose counterpart is an evolved M star. In X-rays the source shows extreme erratic variability and a complex…
BeppoSAX Observations of GRB980425: Detection of the Prompt Event and Monitoring of the Error Box
E. Pian, L. Amati, L. A. Antonelli +25
We present BeppoSAX follow-up observations of GRB980425 obtained with the Narrow Field Instruments (NFI) in April, May, and November 1998. The first NFI observation has detected wi…
BeppoSAX observation of 4U1626-67: Discovery of an absorption cyclotron resonance feature
M. Orlandini, D. Dal Fiume, F. Frontera +6
We report on an observation of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U1626-67 performed during the BeppoSAX Science Verification Phase. An absorption feature at ~37 keV, attributable to elect…
The broad band spectral properties of galactic X-ray binary pulsars
D. Dal Fiume, M. Orlandini, F. Frontera +6
BeppoSAX observed several galactic binary X-ray pulsars during the Science Verification Phase and in the first year of the regular program. The complex emission spectra of these so…
