A Mass Measurement for the Missing Baryons in the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium via the X-ray Forest
F. Nicastro, S. Mathur, M. Elvis +7
Recent Cosmological measurements indicate that baryons comprise about four percent of the total mass-energy density of the Universe, which is in accord with the predictions arising…
A pulsar-atmosphere model for PSR 0656+14
D. A. Lloyd, R. Perna, P. Slane +2
We present a pulsar-atmosphere (PA) model for modulated thermal X-ray emission from cooling magnetized neutron stars. The model synthesizes the spectral properties of detailed stel…
The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic picture of the Missing Baryons in the Local Group
F. Nicastro, A. Zezas, M. Elvis +6
The number of detected baryons in the low-redshift Universe (z < 1) is far small er than the corresponding number of baryons observed at higher redshift. According to hydrodynamica…
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…
The Chandra High Resolution Spectra of Mkn 421
F. Nicastro, A. Fruscione, M. Elvis +3
Mkn 421 was observed by Chandra twice, on November 5, 1999 as part of the Chandra calibration program, with the ACIS-HETG configuration, and on May 29, 2000 following our Target Of…
On the peculiar X-ray properties of the bright nearby radio-quiet quasar PDS456
C. Vignali, A. Comastri, F. Nicastro +3
BeppoSAX and ASCA observations of the nearby (z=0.184), high-luminosity, radio-quiet quasar PDS456 are presented. The X-ray spectrum is characterized by a prominent ionized edge at…
