The complex iron line of NGC 5506
G. Matt, M. Guainazzi, G. C. Perola +4
The bright Narrow Emission Line Galaxy, NGC 5506, has been observed simultaneously by XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX. The iron line is complex, with at least two components: one narrow an…
The X-ray view of highly obscured AGN
Giorgio Matt
The properties of Compton-thick AGN are reviewed, with particular emphasis on BeppoSAX hard X-ray observations. I also discuss evidence for the presence of Compton-thick, circumnuc…
BeppoSAX observations of Mrk 841 and Mrk335
S. Bianchi, G. Matt, F. Haardt +5
We present and discuss BeppoSAX observations of Mrk841 and Mrk335, two Seyfert 1 galaxies in which previous observations have established the presence of soft excesses. We confirm…
Testing Comptonisation models using BeppoSAX observations of Seyfert 1 galaxies
P. O. Petrucci, F. Haardt, L. Maraschi +7
We have used realistic Comptonization models to fit high quality BeppoSAX data of 6 Seyfert galaxies. Our main effort was to adopt a Comptonization model taking into account the an…
Weak Reprocessed Features in the Broad Line Radio Galaxy 3C382
Paola Grandi, Laura Maraschi, C. Meg Urry +1
We present a detailed X-ray study of the Broad Line Radio Galaxy 3C382, observed with the BeppoSAX satellite in a very bright state. The continuum emission is well modeled with a p…
The BeppoSAX view of the X-ray active nucleus of NGC4258
F. Fiore, S. Pellegrini, G. Matt +9
BeppoSAX observed NGC4258 on December 1998, when its 2-10 keV luminosity was \~1E41 erg/s. 100% variability is observed in the 3-10 keV band on timescales of a half a day while 20%…
Surprises from a deep ASCA spectrum of a Broad Absorption Line Quasar PHL 5200
S. Mathur, G. Matt, P. J. Green +2
We present a deep (85 ksec) ASCA observation of the prototype Broad Absorption Line Quasar (BALQSO) PHL 5200. This is the best X-ray spectrum of a BALQSO yet. We find that (1…
