We present a systematic study of 189 dwarf galaxies and their globular cluster (GC) systems in the Perseus cluster, based on deep Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging and Keck spectroscopy, supplemented by literature data. This constitutes the…
Since 1996 a monitoring campaign of the Galactic Bulge region has been performed by the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras in the 2-28 keV band. This allowed accurate and unbiased studies of classes of objects. In particular the type-I X-ray…
This contribution illustrates the study of galaxy clusters as astrophysical laboratories as well as probes for the large-scale structure of the Universe. Using the REFLEX Cluster Survey, the measurement of the statistics of the large-scale…
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 investigate the galaxy population in a field of the Perseus cluster that roughly covers the virial radius of the cluster. The galaxies were selected on Schmidt CCD images in B and H alpha in combination with SDSS images. We present a…
Kaastra et al. (1999) have used the BeppoSAX LECS instrument to search for excess EUV emission in Abell 2199. They claim that the results obtained confirm an independent report of an excess EUV emission in this cluster (Lieu et al. 1999).…
BeppoSAX observed several galactic binary X-ray pulsars during the Science Verification Phase and in the first year of the regular program. The complex emission spectra of these sources are an ideal target for the BeppoSAX instrumentation,…
We present some initial results from the TexOx (Texas-Oxford) Cluster (TOC) survey - a new method of selecting distant galaxy clusters. The cosmic evolution of the radio source population suggests that some massive clusters at high redshift…
This paper presents quantitative techniques for studying, in an unbiased manner, the photometric and structural properties of galaxies in clusters, including a means to identify likely background objects in the absence of redshift…
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…
Large area surveys have detected significant samples of galaxy clusters that can be used to constrain cosmological parameters, provided that the masses of the clusters are measured robustly. To improve the calibration of cluster masses…
We present preliminary results of the XMM-Newton 50 ksec observation of the Perseus cluster. The global east/west asymmetry of the gas temperature and surface brightness distributions, approximately aligned with the chain of bright…
I discuss recent seminal work on the LARCS dataset: a panoramic study of rich clusters of galaxies at z~0.12. The importance of observing beyond the cluster core is illustrated by exploiting these data to examine colour gradients across the…
The systematic search for the presence of cyclotron lines in the spectra of accreting X-ray pulsars is being carried on with the BeppoSAX satellite since the beginning of the mission. These highly successful observations allowed the…
Studies of the diffuse X-ray emitting gas in galaxy clusters have provided powerful constraints on cosmological parameters and insights into plasma astrophysics. However, measurements of the faint cluster outskirts have become possible only…
During its life, BeppoSAX observed several isolated pulsars, giving important contributions to the knowledge of the phenomenology and properties of the X-ray emission from this class of sources. In this paper I review the spectral and…
We present the projected metallicity profiles for a sample of 17 rich galaxy clusters observed by BeppoSAX. We find that the 8 non-cooling flow clusters have flat metallicity profiles. On the contrary, a strong enhancement in the abundance…
The properties of clusters of galaxies offer key insights into the assembly process of structure in the universe. Numerical simulations of cosmic structure formation in a hierarchical, dark matter dominated universe suggest that galaxy…
Pulsar astronomy is currently enjoying one of the most productive phases in its history. In this review, I outline some of the basic observational aspects and summarise some of the latest results of searches for pulsars in the disk of our…
We present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) study of dwarf galaxies in the core of the rich nearby Perseus Cluster, down to M_V=-12. We identify 29 dwarfs as cluster members, 17 of which are…
