An enshrouded AGN in the merging starburst system Arp~299 revealed by BeppoSAX

R. Della Ceca, L. Ballo, F. Tavecchio +9

Using a long (=150 ksec), broad-band (0.1--40 keV) BeppoSAX observation of the merging starburst system Arp 299 (=IC 694 + NGC 3690) we found the first unambiguous evidence of the…
