The Coma Cluster hard X-ray spectrum revisited: still no evidence for a hard tail

M. Rossetti, S. Molendi

In this note, we reply to Fusco-Femiano et al. (2004) and Fusco-Femiano et al. (2006), who cast doubts on our analysis of the PDS observations of the Coma Cluster which we describe…

The 2-8 keV cosmic X-ray background spectrum as observed with XMM-Newton

Andrea De Luca, Silvano Molendi

We have measured the spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) in the 2-8 keV range with the high throughput EPIC/MOS instrument onboard XMM-Newton. A large sample of high gala…

High Energy Results from BeppoSAX

R. Fusco-Femiano, D. Dal Fiume, M. Orlandini +5

We review all the BeppoSAX results relative to the search for additional nonthermal components in the spectra of clusters of galaxies. In particular, our MECS data analysis of A219…

X-ray bright optically quiet galaxies: the case of P3

A. Comastri, M. Brusa, P. Ciliegi +10

Recent X-ray surveys have clearly demonstrated that a population of optically dull, X-ray bright galaxies is emerging at X-ray fluxes of the order of 10-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The nature…

The HELLAS2XMM survey: I. The X-ray data and the Log(N)-Log(S)

A. Baldi, S. Molendi, A. Comastri +3

We present the first results from an XMM-Newton serendipitous medium-deep survey, which covers nearly three square degrees. We detect a total of 1022, 495 and 100 sources, down to…

Metallicity Gradients in X-ray Clusters of Galaxies

Sabrina De Grandi, Silvano Molendi

We present the projected metallicity profiles for a sample of 17 rich galaxy clusters observed by BeppoSAX. We find that the 8 non-cooling flow clusters have flat metallicity profi…
