The Last Gift of Bepposax: Pds Observations of the Two Blazars 1es 0507-040 and Pks 1229-021

چکیده
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 BeppoSAX pointing, were observed for about 2 days each in Spring 2002 with the PDS and detected up to 50 keV. 1ES0507-040 had been already observed by the BeppoSAX NFIs at an earlier epoch for a much shorter time. We have re-analysed those data as well, and identified a possible contamination problem in the PDS spectrum. We present our recent PDS data on both sources, combined with the previous BeppoSAX data and with non-simultaneous observations at other frequencies. The derived Spectral Energy Distributions allow us to discuss the origin of the high energy component.

New Extreme Synchrotron Bl Lac Objects
We report on the BeppoSAX observations of four “extreme” BL Lacs, selected to have high synchrotron peak frequencies. All have been detected also in the PDS band. For 1ES 0120+340, PKS 0548–322 and H 2356–309 the spectrum is well fitted by a convex broken powerlaw, thus locating the synchrotron peak around 1–4 keV. 1ES 1426+428 presents a flat energy spectral index (αx = 0.92) up to ∼100 keV, t...
متن کاملOptical Intra-day Variability in Blazars
We selected a sample of a dozen blazars which are the prime candidates for simultaneous multi-wavelength observing campaigns in their outburst phase. We searched for optical outbursts, intra-day variability and short term variability in these blazars. We carried out optical photometric monitoring of nine of these blazars in 13 observing nights during our observing run October 27, 2006 − March 2...
متن کاملBepposax/pds Serendipitous Detections at High Galactic Latitudes
At a flux limit of∼10 erg cm s in the 20–100 keV band, the PDS instrument on–board BeppoSAX offers the opportunity to study the extragalactic sky with an unprecedented sensitivity. In this work we report on the results of a search in the BeppoSAX archive for serendipitous high energy sources at high galactic latitudes (|b| ≥ 13◦). We have defined a set of twelve regions in which the PDS/MECS cr...
متن کاملPROGRESS IN UNDERSTANDING BLAZARS FROM BeppoSAX OB- SERVATIONS
Results obtained with BeppoSAX observations of blazars within various collaborative programs are presented. The spectral similarity “paradigm”, whereby the spectral energy distributions of blazars follow a sequence, leading to a unified view of the whole population, is briefly illustrated. We concentrate on recent observations of flares and associated spectral variability long for three objects...
متن کاملX-ray Intraday Variability of Five Tev Blazars with Nustar
We have examined 40 NuSTAR light curves (LCs) of five TeV emitting high synchrotron peaked blazars: 1ES 0229+200, Mrk 421, Mrk 501, 1ES 1959+650 and PKS 2155−304. Four of the blazars showed intraday variability in the NuSTAR energy range of 3–79 keV. Using an auto correlation function analysis we searched for intraday variability timescales in these LCs and found indications of several between ...
