- Description:
- The SAXAO database contains the list of the all accepted AO1/AO2/AO3/A04/AO5 SAX CORE and GO program proposals, approved for the first year of operations. The database also includes targets scheduled for the Science Verification Phase (SVP) (from launch, 30 April 1996, till August 1996). The CORE program includes proposals led by Principal Investigator belonging to Italian or Dutch institutions, to the Space Science Department of ESA or to the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestial Physics in Garching. Approximately 80 percent of the first year observing time is allocated to the CORE program. The remaining 20 percent of time for the first year operations is reserved for the GO program. For the AO2 60 percent is allocated to the CORE program and 40 percent to the GO. For the AO3 and AO4 50 percent is allocated to the CORE program and 50 percent to the GO.

- BeppoSAX catalog of GRB X-ray afterglows

- Description:
- We present the catalog of X-ray afterglow observed by BeppoSAX from the launch of the satellite to the end of the mission. Thirty-three X-ray afterglows out of 39 observations were securely identified based on their fading behavior. We have extracted the continuum parameters (decay index, spectral index, flux, absorption) for all available afterglows. We point out a possible correlation between the X-ray afterglow luminosity and the energy emitted during the prompt gamma-ray event.

- Description:
- We present the complete on-line catalogue of gamma-ray bursts observed by the two Wide Field Cameras on board BeppoSAX in the period 1996-2002. Our aim is to provide the community with the largest published data set of GRB's prompt emission X-ray light curves and other useful data.

- Description:
- From past experiments the average power density spectrum (PDS) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with unknown redshift was found to be modelled from 0.01 to 1Hz with a power law, f^-{alpha}^, with {alpha} broadly consistent with 5/3. Recent analysis of the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalogue showed analogous results in the 15-150keV band. We carried out the same analysis on the bright GRBs detected by BeppoSAX/Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) and Fermi/Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). The BeppoSAX/GRBM data, in the energy range 40-700keV and with 7.8 and 0.5ms time resolutions, allowed us to explore for the first time the average PDS at very high frequencies (up to 1kHz) and reveal a break around 1-2Hz, previously found in Compton Gamma Ray Observatory/Burst and Transient Source Experiment data. The Fermi/GBM data, in the energy band 8-1000keV, allowed us to explore for the first time the average PDS within a broad energy range. Our results confirm and extend the energy dependence of the PDS slope, according to which harder photons have shallower PDS.

- Title:
- BeppoSAX HELLAS survey. II.
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/327/771
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has surveyed about 85deg^2^ of sky in the 5-10keV band down to a flux of 4-5x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. The source surface density of 16.9+/-6.4deg^2^ at the survey limit corresponds to a resolved fraction of the 5-10keV X-ray background (XRB) of the order of 20-30 per cent. Hardness ratio analysis indicates that the spectra of a substantial fraction of the HELLAS sources (at least one-third) are harder than a {alpha}_E_=0.6 power law. This hardness may be caused by large absorbing columns. The hardness ratio analysis also indicates that many HELLAS sources may have a spectrum more complex than a single absorbed power law. A soft component, superimposed on a strongly cut-off power law, is likely to be present in several sources.

- Description:
- We present a comprehensive study of the soft X-ray properties of the BeppoSAX High-Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) sources. A large fraction (about 2/3) of the hard X-ray selected sources is detected by ROSAT. The soft X-ray colors for many of these objects, along with the 0.5-2keV flux upper limits for those undetected in the ROSAT band, do imply the presence of absorption. The comparison with the ROSAT Deep Survey sources indicates that a larger fraction of absorbed objects among the HELLAS sources is present, in agreement with their hard X-ray selection and the predictions of the X-ray background synthesis models. Another striking result is the presence of a soft (additional) X-ray component in a significant fraction of absorbed objects.

- Description:
- We present optical spectroscopic identifications of hard X-ray (5-10keV) selected sources belonging to the High-Energy Large-Area Survey sample obtained with BeppoSAX down to a 5-10keV flux limit of F(5-10kev)~3x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. The sample consists of 118 sources. There are 25 sources that have been identified through correlations with catalogs of known sources. A spectroscopic identification for 49 more has been searched for with the telescope. The results of 13 fields were empty down to R=21. There were 37 sources identified as type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and nine as type 2 AGNs. The remaining sources are five narrow emission-line galaxies, six clusters, two BL Lac objects, one radio galaxy, and one star.

- Description:
- We present results of a complete radio follow-up obtained with the VLA and ATCA radio telescopes down to a 6-cm flux limit of about 0.3 mJy (3{sigma}) of all the 147 X-ray sources detected in the BeppoSAX HELLAS survey. We found 53 X-ray/radio likely associations, corresponding to about one-third of the X-ray sample. Using the two-point spectral index {alpha}_ro_=0.35 we divided all the HELLAS X-ray sources into radio-quiet and radio-loud. We have 26 sources classified as radio-loud objects, corresponding to 18 per cent of the HELLAS sample. In agreement with previous results, the identified radio-loud sources are associated mainly with Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with L_5-10kev_>~10^44^erg/s, while all the identified Type 2 AGNs and emission-line galaxies are radio-quiet objects with L_5-10kev_<~10^44^erg/s.
