We present BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton observations of MKN 231. These observations and in particular the BeppoSAX PDS data allowed us to unveil, for the first time, the highly absorbed (N$_H\sim 2\times10^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$) AGN component. We find…

The BL Lac object Mkn 501, one of the only three extragalactic sources (with Mkn 421 and 1ES 2344+514) so far detected at TeV energies, was observed with the BeppoSAX satellite on 7, 11, and 16 April 1997 during a phase of high activity at…

As a follow-up of the X-ray serendipitous detection of the source 2MASX J14585116-1652223, medium-resolution optical spectroscopic observations collected at the 1.5-metre "Cassini" telescope of the Astronomical Observatory of Bologna were…

The Circinus Galaxy has been observed, for the first time above 10 keV, by BeppoSAX. An excess emission above the extrapolation of the best fit 0.1--10 keV spectrum is apparent in the PDS data. The most likely explanation is that we are…

We present a detailed spectral analysis of point-like X-ray sources in the XMM-COSMOS field. Our sample of 135 sources only includes those that have more than 100 net counts in the 0.3-10 keV energy band and have been identified through…

The LINER nucleus of the nearby spiral galaxy M81 was pointed by BeppoSAX, which caught it at the highest (2-10) keV flux level observed so far. The LECS, MECS and PDS data, extending over (0.1-100) keV, are used to investigate the physical…

The nearby galaxy M33 was observed by the imaging X-ray instruments on-board BeppoSAX. Two observations at different phases of the 105.9 day intensity cycle of the luminous central source X-8 failed to reveal the expected modulation,…

(Abridged) Spectral and time variability analysis of the region of the hard X-ray transient EXS 1737.9-2952 near the Galactic Centre (GC), using data from the Narrow Field Instruments of BeppoSAX is reported. The main results are the MECS…

We report the results of a broadband (0.1-100 keV) X-ray observation of the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC1052, performed with the BeppoSAX observatory. We confirm the presence of a bright (2-10 keV luminosity ~ 4 x 10^{42} erg/s) and…

We report on the discovery of a narrow-emission-line object at z=0.672 detected in a deep ASCA survey. The object, AXJ0341.4-4453, has a flux in the 2--10keV band of 1.1+/-0.27 E-13 erg/s/cm**2, corresponding to a luminosity of 1.8E44 erg/s…
