The hard X-ray spectrum of Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxies and the synthesis of the XRB
Giorgio Matt, Fulvio Pompilio, Fabio La Franca
A synthesis model for the cosmic X-ray Background (XRB) is presented, which includes a proper treatment of Compton scattering in the absorbing matter for type 2 AGN. Evidence for a…
The X-ray background and the evolution of AGN
Fulvio Pompilio, Fabio La Franca, Giorgio Matt
We discuss the constraints on the AGN evolution from the cosmic X-ray background and source counts. A synthesis model to fit the X-ray background is presented. In the model, the sp…
BeppoSAX unveils the nuclear component in NGC 6240
P. Vignati, S. Molendi, G. Matt +10
The direct nuclear X-ray emission of the ultraluminous IRAS galaxy NGC 6240 has been observed for the first time by BeppoSAX. It is seen through an absorber with N_H=2*10^{24} cm^{…
