Blazars in hard X–rays
Although blazars are thought to emit most of their luminosity in the γ–ray band, there are subclasses of them very prominent in hard X–rays. These are the best candidates to be studied by Simbol–X. They are at the extremes of the blazar sequence, having very small or very high jet powers. The former are the class of TeV emitting BL Lacs, whose synchrotron emission often peaks at tens of keV or ...
متن کاملProperties of the Galactic population of cataclysmic variables in hard X - rays
We measure the spatial distribution and hard X-ray luminosity function of cataclysmic variables (CVs) using the INTEGRAL all-sky survey in the 17–60 keV energy band. The vast majority of the INTEGRAL detected CVs are intermediate polars with luminosities in the range 10–10 erg s. The scale height of the Galactic disk population of CVs is found to be 130 −50 pc. The CV luminosity function measur...
متن کاملSuper-Orbital Variability in Hard X-rays
We present the results of a study with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope in the 14 – 195 keV range of the long-term variability of 5 low mass X-ray binaries with reported or suspected super-orbital periods — 4U 1636-536, 4U 1820-303, 4U 1916-053, Cyg X-2 and Sco X-1. No significant persistent periodic modulation was detected around the previously reported periods in the 4U 1916-053, Cyg X-2 or Sc...
متن کاملHard X-rays from the Galactic Nucleus: Present and Future Observations
In spite of increasing evidences of the presence of a massive Black Hole at the Galactic Center, its radio counterpart, Sgr A, shows little activity at high energies, and recent models involving energy advection (ADAF) have been proposed to explain this difficulty. We present results on the hard X-ray emission from the galactic central square degree obtained from the SIGMA/GRANAT 1990-1997 surv...
متن کاملHigh Energy Diffuse Gamma-Rays from Galactic Plane
The dominant part of the diffuse gamma rays beyond 1 TeV from the Galactic plane has been thought as due to the inverse Compton scattering of interstellar photons with high-energy cosmic-ray electrons. In these energy regions, diffuse gamma-ray observations give us unique information on the energy spectrum of high-energy electron in the interstellar space, since we cannot observe those electron...
