We have observed a radio-quiet QSO Kaz 102 (z=0.136) with ASCA as a part of our program of complete spectral characterization of hard X-ray selected AGNs. We found that Kaz 102 shows unusual spectral properties. A simple power-law with…
The XMM-Newton spectra of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125 show deviations from a Planckian energy distribution below 400 eV, similar to the spectra of RBS1223, another long-period X-ray pulsar, as reported recently by Haberl et…
We present modelling of X-ray polarisation spectra emerging from the two competing scenarios that are proposed to explain the broad Fe K{\alpha} line in the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. The polarisation signature of complex absorption is…
We present for the first time orbital phase-resolved spectra of an intermediate polar (IP), EX Hya, together with the spin phase-resolved spectra during two different epochs using the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission, European Photon Imaging…
We report on an XMM-Newton observation of the accreting millisecond pulsar, IGR J17511-3057. Pulsations at 244.8339512(1) Hz are observed with an RMS pulsed fraction of 14.4(3)%. A precise solution for the P_orb=12487.51(2)s binary system…
We present RXTE and BeppoSAX observations of the Intermediate Polar V709 Cas acquired in 1997 and 1998 respectively. The X-ray emission from 0.1 to 30keV is dominated by the strong pulsation at the rotational period of the white dwarf…
Hard X-ray spectra of 28 bright Seyfert galaxies observed with INTEGRAL were analyzed together with the X-ray spectra from XMM-Newton, Suzaku and RXTE. These broad-band data were fitted with a model assuming a thermal Comptonization as a…
We detect dipping activity/modulations in the light curve of the four LMXBs in the 3--10 keV and 20--40 keV energy ranges. The spectral parameters derived from the fits to the INTEGRAL data are consistent with hot coronal structures in…
We present data from simultaneous Chandra, XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516, taken during 2001 April and Nov. We have investigated the nature of the very flat observed X-ray spectrum. Chandra grating…
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…
We present XMM-Newton observations of the eclipsing polar EP Dra which cover nearly 3 binary orbital cycles. The X-ray and UV data show evidence for a prominent dip before the eclipse which is due to the accretion stream obscuring the…
We present broad-band (0.1--90keV) spectral and temporal properties of the three Intermediate Polars, RE0751+144 (PQ Gem), RXJ0558.0+5353 (V405Aur) and RXJ1712.6-2414 (V2400 Oph) based on simultaneous soft and hard X-ray observations with…
We present the orbital-phase resolved analysis of an archival FO Aqr observation obtained using the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton), European Photon Imaging Camera (pn instrument). We investigate the variation of the spin pulse…
Results are presented from the first detailed spectroscopic observations of the recently identified intermediate polar RXJ0028.8+5917/V709 Cas. The study of the emission line radial velocities allows us to remove the uncertainties on the…
ASCA and GINGA X-ray data from the magnetic Cataclysmic Variable BY Cam show that the spectrum is strongly affected by complex absorption, probably from the pre-shock accretion column. The intrinsic emission from the shock is significantly…
The 0.5-150 keV broad-band spectra of a sample of nine bright type 1 Seyfert galaxies are analyzed here. These sources have been discovered/detected by INTEGRAL and subsequently observed with XMM--Newton for the first time with high…
We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of all INTEGRAL data obtained so far for the X-ray--bright Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. We also use all contemporaneous data from RXTE, XMM, Swift and Suzaku. We find a linear correlation between the…
We disentangle X-ray disk reflection from complex line-of-sight absorption in the nearby Seyfert NGC 4151, using a suite of Suzaku, NuSTAR, and XMM-Newton observations. Extending upon earlier published work, we pursue a physically motivated…
We present the analysis and results from a series of XMM-Newton observations of the distant blazar PMN J0525-3343, at a redshift of 4.4. The X-ray spectrum shows a spectral flattening below ~1 keV confirming earlier results from ASCA and…
In about half of Seyfert galaxies, the X-ray emission is absorbed by an optically thin, ionized medium, the so-called "Warm Absorber", whose origin and location is still a matter of debate. The aims of this paper is to put more constraints…
