We report $Suzaku$ X-ray observations of the dark subhalo associated with the merging group of NGC 4839 in the Coma cluster. The X-ray image exhibits an elongated tail toward the southwest. The X-ray peak shifts approximately $1'$ away from…

We report the results of a long BeppoSAX observation of Abell 3667, one of the most spectacular galaxy cluster in the southern sky. A clear detection of hard X-ray radiation up to ~ 35 keV is reported, while a hard excess above the thermal…

Observations of radio halos and relics in galaxy clusters indicate efficient electron acceleration. Protons should likewise be accelerated, suggesting that clusters may also be sources of very high-energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray…

We show the softest ever spectrum from Cyg~X-1, detected in 2013 with Suzaku. This has the weakest high energy Compton tail ever seen from this object, so should give the cleanest view of the underlying disk spectrum, and hence the best…

The surface brightness produced by synchrotron radiation in Clusters of Galaxies with a radio-halo sets a degenerate constraint on the magnetic field strength, the relativistic electron density and their spatial distributions. Using the…

With magnetic fields below one microgauss, the minimum pressures of synchrotron plasmas start to approach those in the thermal gas in cluster outskirts and the more diffuse WHIM in large-scale structure filaments. We summarize some of our…

Using the observations of the high-energy (HE) detector of the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) for Scorpius X-1 in 2018, we search for hard X-ray tails in the hard X-ray spectra in ~30-200 keV. The hard X-ray tails are found…

This paper provides a new analysis of ROSAT observations of the Coma cluster, to determine the amount of soft X--ray radiation in excess of the contribution from the hot intra--cluster medium. The re--analysis is made possible by a…

We present the results of a 55ks NuSTAR observation of the core of the Coma Cluster. The global spectrum can be explained by thermal gas emission, with a conservative 90% upper limit to non-thermal inverse Compton (IC) emission of $5.1…

We present two BeppoSAX observations of BL Lac (2200+420) as part of a multiwavelength campaign performed in 2000. The source was in different states of activity: in June, the X-ray spectrum was faint and hard (alpha sim 0.8), with positive…

We report on the first detection above ~10 keV of the archetypal Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. This detection, obtained with the PDS instrument onboard BeppoSAX in the 20-100 keV range, confirms the hardness of the X--ray…

After confirmation of the presence of a nonthermal hard X-ray excess with respect to the thermal emission in the Coma cluster from two independent observations, obtained using the Phoswich Detection System onboard BeppoSAX, we present in…

We investigate the non-thermal X-ray emission from Cas A. For the hard X-ray continuum we test the model proposed by Laming, which invokes bremsstrahlung from electrons accelerated by lower hybrid plasma waves. The justification for this…

Context : If relativistic particle acceleration takes place in colliding-wind binaries, hard X-rays and gamma-rays are expected through inverse Compton emission, but to date these have never been unambiguously detected. Aims : To detect…

We study the X-ray emission in a sample of galaxy clusters using the BeppoSAX PDS instrument in the 20 -- 80 keV energy band. The non-thermal hard X-ray cluster emission (HXR) is detected at a 2 sigma level in 50% of the non-significantly…

Using the data from the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) and the High-Energy X-ray Timing Experiment (HEXTE) on board it Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer for Z source GX 17+2, we investigate the evolution of its PCA spectra and HEXTE spectra…

A sample of nine bright Seyfert 1 and NELG type galaxies, observed with BeppoSAX, is analyzed to assess on a truly broad band basis (0.1-200 keV) the issue of the spectral contributions of Compton reflection and iron line fluorescence from…

We present new BeppoSAX LECS and MECS observations, covering the energy range 0.1 - 10 keV (observer's frame), of four BL Lacertae objects selected from the 1 Jy sample. All sources display a flat (alpha_x ~ 0.7) X-ray spectrum, which we…

Results of a 2001 March 17-20 BeppoSAX observation of the X-ray binary XB 1832-330 located in the globular cluster NGC 6652 are presented. In contrast to the majority of luminous globular cluster X-ray sources, the (0.1-200 keV) BeppoSAX…

We present new BeppoSAX LECS, MECS and PDS observations of five lobe-dominated, broad-line active galactic nuclei selected from the 2-Jy sample of southern radio sources. These include three radio quasars and two broad-line radio galaxies.…
