Simbol-X: A Formation Flight Mission with an Unprecedented Imaging Capability in the 0.5-80 Kev Energy Band
Gianpiero Tagliaferri, Philippe Ferrando, Jean-Michel Le Duigou +8
The discovery of X-ray emission from cosmic sources in the 1960s has opened a new powerful observing window on the Universe. In fact, the exploration of the X-ray sky during the 70…
Science with Simbol-X
F. Fiore, M. Arnaud, U. Briel +20
Simbol-X is a French-Italian mission, with a participation of German laboratories, for X-ray astronomy in the wide 0.5-80 keV band. Taking advantage of emerging technology in mirro…
On the Simbol-X capability of detecting red/blue-shifted emission and absorption Fe K lines
F. Tombesi, M. Cappi, G. Ponti +2
The detection of red/blue-shifted iron lines in the spectra of astronomical X-ray sources is of great importance, as it allows to trace the environment around compact objects, like…
Ibis/Picsit Status
G. Di Cocco, V. Bianchin, L. Foschini +5
We report about the status of the PICsIT layer of the imager IBIS. The instrument has been tested in both Spectral Imaging and Spectral Timing Mode. PICsIT Single Events, Multiple…
Swift follow-up of the gigantic TeV outburst of PKS 2155-304 in 2006
L. Foschini, G. Ghisellini, F. Tavecchio +12
At the end of July 2006, the blazar PKS 2155-304 (z=0.116) underwent a strong outburst observed at TeV energies by HESS (up to 17 Crab flux level at E > 200 GeV). The Swift satelli…
Chandra observations of X-ray source overdensities in distant galaxy cluster fields
N. Cappelluti, M. Cappi, M. Dadina +4
The first systematic study of the serendipitous X-ray source density around 10 high z (0.24<z<1.2) clusters performed with Chandra is presented. A factor \~2 overdensity has been f…
