Initial Results from the High Energy Experiment PDS aboard BeppoSAX

Astrophysics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The high energy experiment PDS is one of the Narrow Field Instruments aboard the X-ray astronomy satellite BeppoSAX. It covers the energy band from 15 to 300 keV. Here we report results on its in-flight performance and observations of galactic and extragalactic X-ray sources obtained during the Science Verification Phase of the satellite: in particular Crab, Cen X-3, 4U1626-67 and PKS2155-305.
