Exploring the Hard X-/soft gamma-ray Continuum Spectra with Laue Lenses

F. Frontera, A. Pisa, P. De Chiara +17

The history of X-ray astronomy has shown that any advancement in our knowledge of the X-ray sky is strictly related to an increase in instrument sensitivity. At energies above 60 k…

The HELLAS2XMM 1dF survey: on the nature of high X-ray to optical flux ratio sources

F. Fiore, M. Brusa, F. Cocchia +12

We present results from the photometric and spectroscopic identification of 122 X-ray sources discovered by XMM-Newton in the 2-10 keV band (the HELLAS2XMM 1dF sample). One of the…

XMM-Newton Survey of a Distance-limited Sample of Seyfert Galaxies: Preliminary Spectral Results

M. Cappi, G. Di Cocco, F. Panessa +19

An unbiased estimate of the average intrinsic X-ray properties and column density distribution of Seyfert galaxies in the local Universe is crucial to validate unified models of ac…

X-ray spectroscopy and time variability of Narrow Line Seyfert 1

F. Cancelliere, A. Comastri

We present the main results of broad band (0.1-10 keV) BeppoSAX observations of a selected sample of Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). We have performed a spectroscopic analy…
