X-ray observations with the ROSAT HRI and with ASCA are presented for the nearby radio quasar B2 1028+313, which is located in the cD galaxy at the center of the Abell cluster A1030. We also analyze archival ROSAT PSPC observations. We find…
We report the observation of the Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) of Abell 85 by the X-ray satellite BeppoSAX. We have both analysed the spectrum obtained in the central 8 arcmin circular region centred on the Very Steep Spectrum Radio Source…
Based on a detailed analysis of the high-quality Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku data of the X-ray bright cluster of galaxies Abell 1795, we report clear evidence for a two-phase intracluster medium (ICM) structure, which consists of a cool…
We present an analysis of BeppoSAX observations of the IC1262 galaxy cluster and report the first temperature and abundance measurements, along with preliminary indications of diffuse, nonthermal emission. By fitting a 6' (~360 h_50^-1 kpc)…
We report on the discovery of 10 additional galaxy clusters detected in the ongoing Swift/BAT all-sky survey. Among the newly BAT-discovered clusters there are: Bullet, Abell 85, Norma, and PKS 0745-19. Norma is the only cluster, among…
We present an analysis of the hard X-ray emission from the central region of Abell 3667 using deep NuSTAR observations. While previous studies on the nature of the hard X-ray excess have been controversial, our analysis of the central…
We present results from a BeppoSAX observation of the rich cluster Abell 3266. The broad band spectrum (2-50 keV) of the cluster, when fitted with an optically thin thermal emission model, yields a temperature of 8.1 +/- 0.2 keV and a metal…
The Galactic Center Region has been surveyed in 1997-1998 with the Narrow Field Instruments on-board the BeppoSAX satellite (2-10keV energy range). The X-ray emission from SgrA*, the putative supermassive black hole at the center of our…
We present results from the analysis of a BeppoSAX observation of the Centaurus Cluster. The radial metal abundance profile shows evidence of a large enhancement in the core, where Ab $>$ 1 (sol. units). The temperature map indicates that…
The study of soft X-ray emission of 38 X-ray selected galaxy clusters observed by ROSAT PSPC indicates that the soft excess phenomenon may be a common occurrence in galaxy clusters. Excess soft X-ray radiation, above the contribution from…
Abell~1142 is a low-mass galaxy cluster at low redshift containing two comparable Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCG) resembling a scaled-down version of the Coma Cluster. Our Chandra analysis reveals an X-ray emission peak, roughly 100 kpc…
We use new ASCA observations and archival ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) data to determine the X-ray spectral properties of the intracluster gas in Abell 644. From the overall spectrum, we determine the average gas…
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 report the discovery of spatially-extended, non-thermal-like emission components in Chandra X-ray spectra for five of a sample of seven massive, merging galaxy clusters with powerful radio halos. The emission components can be fitted by…
Chandra ACIS-S observations of the galaxy cluster A3112 feature the presence of an excess of X-ray emission above the contribution from the diffuse hot gas, which can be equally well modeled with an additional non-thermal power-law model or…
Hard X-ray radiation has been detected for the first time in the Coma cluster by BeppoSAX. Thanks to the unprecedented sensitivity of the Phoswich Detection System (PDS) instrument, the source has been detected up to ~80 keV. There is clear…
Clusters of galaxies are among the best candidates for particle acceleration sources in the universe, a signature of which is non-thermal hard X-ray emission from the accelerated relativistic particles. We present early results on Suzaku…
We present results of X-ray observations of the Coma cluster with multiple instruments over a broad energy band. Using the data from INTEGRAL, RXTE and ROSAT observatories, we find that the Coma spectrum in the 0.5-107 keV energy band can…
We report the first Chandra detection of emission out to the virial radius in the cluster Abell 1835 at z=0.253. Our analysis of the soft X-ray surface brightness shows that emission is present out to a radial distance of 10 arcmin or 2.4…
The spectrum of the 0.1-7.0 keV cosmic X-ray background (CXB) at galactic latitudes >|25| degrees has been measured using the BeppoSAX Low-Energy Spectrometer Concentrator (LECS). Above 1 keV the spectrum is consistent with a power-law of…
