BeppoSAX observed 8 times the gamma-ray bright blazar PKS 0528+134 in Feb. and Mar. 1997, during a multiwavelength campaign involving EGRET, onboard CGRO, and ground based telescopes. The source was in its faintest X-ray state observed so…
The BeppoSAX Narrow Field Instruments observed the galactic source GS1826-238 in October 1997, following a hard X-ray outburst with a peak flux of about 100 mCrab detected by BATSE. Two short X-ray bursts (about 150 s) were detected up to…
A long ($>100,000$ seconds) observation of the bright BL Lac object PKS 2155-304 has been carried out with the Narrow Field Instruments of the BeppoSAX satellite as part of the Science Verification Phase. The source was detected between 0.1…
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 present a systematic analysis of all the BeppoSAX data of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1900+14: these observations allowed us to study the long term properties of the source quiescent emission. In the observation carried out before…
Towards the end of the BeppoSAX mission, the only operated Narrow Field Instrument was the PDS, which covers the energy range 13-300 keV. Two blazars, 1ES 0507-040 (z=0.304) and PKS 1229-021 (z= 1.045), suitably located in the sky for…
The bright BL Lac object PKS 2005-489 was observed by BeppoSAX on November 1-2, 1998, following an active X-ray state detected by RossiXTE. The source, detected between 0.1 and 200 keV, was in a very high state with a continuum well fitted…
PKS 2155-304 was observed with BeppoSAX in November 1997 for 64 ksec (total elapsed time 33.5 hours) and, for the first time, simultaneously in gamma-rays with EGRET on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory and with the ground based TeV…
We present multiwavelength observations of the ultraluminous blazar-type radio loud quasar PKS 0528+134 in quiescence during the period July to December 2009. Significant flux variability on a time scale of several hours was found in the…
We present a systematic analysis of all the BeppoSAX data of SGR1900+14. The observations spanning five years show that the source was brighter than usual on two occasions: ~20 days after the August 1998 giant flare and during the 10^5 s…
We present a systematic analysis of all the BeppoSAX data of SGR 1900+14. The observations spanning five years show that the source was brighter than usual on two occasions: ~20 days after the August 1998 giant flare and during the 10^5 sec…
We present the results from both the timing and spectroscopic analysis of the transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843+00 observed by the BeppoSAX satellite on 1997 April 4, when the source was at a luminosity of ~10^{37} erg s^{-1}. GS 1843+00 shows…
We report on multiwavelength observations of the blazar PKS 0537-441 (z = 0.896) obtained from microwaves through gamma rays by SMA, REM, ATOM, Swift and Fermi during 2008 August-2010 April. Strong variability has been observed in gamma…
With a direct demodulation method, we have reanalyzed the data from COMPTEL/CGRO observation of PKS0528+134 during the 1993 March flare in gamma-rays. Our results show that during the flare gamma-rays were detected at a level approximately…
We present here results obtained from a detailed timing and spectral analysis of three BeppoSAX observations of the binary X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 carried out in August 1996, March 1997, and August 2000. In the middle of the August 2000…
PKS 0548-322 (z=0.069) is a ``high-frequency-peaked'' BL Lac object and a candidate very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter, due to its high X-ray and radio flux. Observations at the VHE band provide insights into the origin of…
We report on the results from two BeppoSAX observations of the Z source GX 349+2 performed in February 2001 and covering the broad energy range 0.12-200 keV. The light curve obtained from these observations shows a large flaring activity,…
We present the results of BeppoSAX observations of PKS 2155-304 during an intense gamma-ray flare. The source was in a high X-ray state. A temporal analysis of the data reveals a tendency of the amplitude of variations to increase with…
We present the preliminary results of a long BeppoSAX observation of the BL Lac object Mkn501 carried out in June 1999. The source was fainter than found during the BeppoSAX pointings of 1997 and 1998, but is still detected with a good…
Multiwavelength (MWL) observations of the blazar PKS 2155-304 during two weeks in July and August 2006, the period when two exceptional flares at very high energies (VHE, E>= 100 GeV) occurred, provide a detailed picture of the evolution of…
