We report on the identification of a new soft gamma-ray source, IGR J12319-0749, detected with the IBIS imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The source, which has an observed 20-100 keV flux of ~8.3 x 10^{-12} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}, is…

Aims. High angular resolution N-band imaging is used to discern the torus of active galactic nuclei (AGN) from its environment in order to allow a comparison of its mid-infrared properties to the expectations of the unified scenario for…

Abridged : The various IBIS/ISGRI catalogues contain a large population of hard X-ray sources whose nature is still unknown. Even if the $>20$ keV positional uncertainty provided by ISGRI is unprecedented, it is still too large to pinpoint…

We present X-ray data for a complete sample of 44 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These are the X-ray observations of the high luminosity portion of the Great Observatory All-sky LIRG Survey…

Since it started observing the sky, the INTEGRAL satellite has revealed new categories of High Mass X-ray binaries in our Galaxy. These observations raise important questions on the formation and evolution of such rare and short-living…

The IBIS/ISGRI first year galactic plane survey has produced a catalogue containing 123 hard X-ray sources visible down to a flux limit of a few milliCrabs. The point source location accuracy of typically 1-3 arcminutes has allowed the…

We present 180 AGN candidates based on color selection from the IRAS slow-scan deep observations, with color criteria broadened from the initial Point-Source Catalog samples to include similar objects with redshifts up to z=1 and allowing…

Aim of this work is a broad-band study with INTEGRAL, Swift and XMM-Newton satellites of a sample of 9 blazars (7 FSRQ and 2 BL Lac) with redshift up to about 4. The spectral analysis has shown clear evidence of a flattening of the…
