We present preliminary results of the spectral analysis of a large sample of Seyfert galaxies observed by BeppoSAX. The only selection criterium was a sufficiently large S/N ratio (>10) in the PDS band (12-200 keV) to allow good detection…
We present the results of two observations of the bright Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516, obtained with BeppoSAX in 1996 November and 1997 March. Useful signal is detected between 0.2 and 60 keV, allowing for the first time the simultaneous…
Unified models of Seyfert galaxies, based on viewing angles, successfully explain the observed differences between type 1 and 2 Seyferts. The existence of a range in accretion rates relative to the Eddington rate (from broad-line Seyfert 1s…
(Abridged) I present a comprehensive and uniform analysis of 25 {\it ASCA} observations from 23 Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. The spectral analysis and correlations are presented in this paper, Part 2; the reduction and time series…
In this paper I will briefly review what are, in my view, the main contributions of BeppoSAX to the understanding of the class of sources known as Soft Gamma Repeaters. These enigmatic sources were firmly identified as steady pulsars just…
We report optical, radio and X-ray observations of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy RX J1702.5+3247. The soft (0.1-2 keV) X-ray flux, measured by BeppoSAX, is characterized by strong variability on short time scales (< 500 sec). The most…
We briefly review BeppoSAX observations of X-ray bright radio-galaxies. Their X-ray spectra are quite varied, and perhaps surprisingly, any similarity between radio-loud AGN and Seyfert galaxies is the exception rather than the rule. When…
Six Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies have been discovered in optical follow-up spectroscopy of nuclei of galaxies selected for their high X-ray flux in the ROSAT All Sky Survey. We give X-ray and optical parameters of the sources and show…
We present the results of broad-band B and I imaging observations for a sample of 88 Seyfert galaxies (29 Seyfert 1's and 59 Seyfert 2's), selected from a mostly isotropic property, the flux at 60$\mu$m. We also present the B and I imaging…
We present the analysis of 31 observations of 20 bright Compton thin Seyfert 2s, in the 0.1-200 keV band, performed with the BeppoSAX satellite. The sample consists of all Seyfert 2s in the BeppoSAX public archive, with a 2-10 keV flux…
In the present work we report the BeppoSAX serendipitous discovery of the type 2 AGN 1SAXJ2234.8-2541 in the MECS field of view when pointing at the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC7314. The source is optical identified with the bright (m_B=14.40)…
We present X-ray observations of two high redshift clusters of galaxies carried out with the BeppoSAX satellite. One cluster, RXJ0152.7-1357 at z = 0.83, was selected from the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey sample, as one of the most X-ray…
In this paper, we present our preliminary results on Seyfert galaxies with circumnuclear/nuclear starburst(SB) activity. We have searched the recent available literature and found 76 active galaxies with clear evidence of nuclear SB…
The Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 766 has been observed by BeppoSAX on May 1997. The source was fairly variable, both in flux and spectrum, during the observation. The variability is the largest around 2 keV, possibly due to variations…
We report about recent updates of broad-band properties of radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies.
X-ray and gamma-ray observations of Seyfert 1 galaxies are briefly reviewed. Both thermal and non-thermal model for X-ray and gamma-ray emission are discussed. Particular attention is given to various disc-corona models including both…
The Fermi/LAT collaboration recently reported the detection of starburt galaxies in the high energy gamma-ray domain, as well as radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 objects, which were previously unusual extragalactic suspects for high energy…
We present the results obtained with BeppoSAX observations of the three Composite Seyfert/star-forming galaxies: IRAS 20051-1117, IRAS 04392-0123 and IRAS 01072+4954. These sources belong to an enigmatic class of X-ray sources detected in…
The main results of broad-band (0.1-10 keV) BeppoSAX observations of a selected sample of NLS1s are presented and discussed. It is shown that all the available data are consistent with a scenario in which NLS1s are running at a high…
In this work we present the first of two papers devoted to the study of the X-ray spectral characteristics of Seyfert 1 galaxies in the Piccinotti sample. In particular we analyse here the BeppoSAX broad band (0.1-100 keV) data of 4 objects…
