We have made BeppoSAX observations of the Seyfert 2/1.9 galaxy ESO103-G35, which contains a nuclear maser source and is known to be heavily absorbed in the X-rays. Analysis of the X-ray spectra observed by SAX in October 1996 and 1997…

We present the 0.1-200 keV BeppoSAX spectrum of MR 2251-178 observed at two epochs in 1998 separated by 5 months. Both epochs show identical spectral shape and X-ray flux. Analysis of the combined spectra allow us to confirm the presence of…

We report on the 20 ksec observation of Vela X-1 performed by BeppoSAX on 1996 July 14 during its Science Verification Phase. We observed the source in two intensity states, characterized by a change in luminosity of a factor ~ 2, and a…

The hard X-ray source 4U 2206+54 is a peculiar high mass X-ray binary with a main-sequence donor star. Recent X-ray observations suggested that the compact object in 4U 2206+54 may be a neutron star. The X-ray emission comes from the…

We report on a 30 ks observation of the high-mass X-ray binary pulsar OAO1657-415 performed by BeppoSAX on September 1998. The wide band spectrum is well fit by both a cutoff power law, or a power law modified by a high energy cutoff, plus…

The recurrent hard pulsating X-ray transient \S was observed with \B on March 19, when the source was at a 2--10 keV flux level of $\sim$310~mCrab. We report on the high energy spectrum of the source, concentrating on cyclotron resonant…

We present a phase resolved spectral analysis of the X-ray binary 4U0115+63 based upon Beppo-Sax satellite observations. Three strong absorption lines have been detected at all phases. We interpreted them as a cyclotron resonant scattering.…

The anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 was studied by the INTEGRAL observations. The hard X-ray spectrum of 18 -- 500 keV for 4U 0142+61 was derived using near 9 years of INTEGRAL/IBIS data. We obtained the average hard X-ray spectrum of 4U…
