Re-testing the JET-X Flight Module No. 2 at the PANTER facility
Daniele Spiga, Gianpiero Tagliaferri, Paolo Soffitta +19
The Joint European X-ray Telescope (JET-X) was the core instrument of the Russian Spectrum-X-gamma space observatory. It consisted of two identical soft X-ray (0.3 - 10 keV) telesc…
An updated list of AGILE bright gamma-ray sources and their variability in pointing mode
F. Verrecchia, C. Pittori, A. W. Chen +76
We present a variability study of a sample of bright gamma-ray (30 MeV -- 50 GeV) sources. This sample is an extension of the first AGILE catalogue of gamma-ray sources (1AGL), obt…
A setup for soft proton irradiation of X-ray detectors for future astronomical space missions
Sebastian Diebold, Philipp Azzarello, Ettore Del Monte +10
Protons that are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field are one of the main threats to astronomical X-ray observatories. Soft protons, in the range from tens of keV up to a few MeV,…
Background simulations for the Large Area Detector onboard LOFT
R. Campana, M. Feroci, E. Del Monte +3
The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT), currently in an assessment phase in the framework the ESA M3 Cosmic Vision programme, is an innovative medium-class mission specifica…
Gamma-ray observations of Cygnus X-1 above 100 MeV in the hard and soft states
S. Sabatini, M. Tavani, P. Coppi +19
We present the results of multi-year gamma-ray observations by the AGILE satellite of the black hole binary system Cygnus X-1. In a previous investigation we focused on gamma-ray o…
The LOFT contribution to GRB science
L. Amati, E. Del Monte, V. D'Elia +3
LOFT is a satellite mission currently in Assessment Phase for the ESA M3 selection. The payload is composed of the Large Area Detector (LAD), with 2-50 keV energy band, a peak effe…
The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the Fermi GBM Catalog of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts
K. Hurley, V. D. Pal'shin, R. L. Aptekar +37
We present Interplanetary Network (IPN) data for the gamma-ray bursts in the first Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) catalog. Of the 491 bursts in that catalog, covering 2008 Jul…
