We report the discovery by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope of high-energy γ-ray emission from the peculiar quasar PMN J0948+0022 (z = 0.5846). The optical...

Pulsar Simulations for the Fermi Large Area Telescope (2009)

Razzano, M., Harding, A. K., Baldini, L., Bellazzini, R., Bregeon, J., Burnett, T., ...

Pulsars are among the prime targets for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the recently launched Fermi observatory. The LAT will study the gamma-ray Universe between 20 MeV and 300 GeV with...

Prospects for GRB Science with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (2009)

Band, D. L., Axelsson, M., Baldini, L., Barbiellini, G., Baring, M. G., Bastieri, D., ...

The LAT instrument on the Fermi mission will reveal the rich spectral and temporal gamma-ray burst phenomena in the > 100 MeV band. The synergy with Fermi's GBM detectors will link these observations...

On possible interpretations of the high energy electron-positron spectrum measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (2009)

Grasso, D., Profumo, S., Strong, A. W., Baldini, L., Bellazzini, R., Bloom, E. D., ...

The Fermi-LAT experiment recently reported high precision measurements of the spectrum of cosmic-ray electrons-plus-positrons (CRE) between 20 GeV and 1 TeV. The spectrum shows no prominent spectral...

The invention of the MicroStrip Gas Chamber (2009)

R. Bellazzini, G. Sp

MicroPattern Gas Detectors are position-sensitive proportional counters whose sense electrodes are constructed using microelectronics, thin-film or advanced PCB techniques. The feature size...

Low energy polarization sensitivity of the Gas Pixel Detector (2007)

Muleri, F., Soffitta, P., Baldini, L., Bellazzini, R., Bregeon, J., Brez, A., ...

An X-ray photoelectric polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector has been proposed to be included in many upcoming space missions to fill the gap of about 30 years from the first (and to date only)...

Imaging with the invisible light (2007)

Bellazzini, R, Spandre, G, Brez, A, Minuti, M, Baldini, L, Latronico, L, ...

We describe a UV photo-detector with single photon(electron) counting and imaging capability. It is based on a CsI photocathode, a GEM charge multiplier and a self triggering CMOS analog pixel chip...

A Sealed Gas Pixel Detector for X-ray Astronomy (2006)

Bellazzini, R., Spandre, G., Minuti, M., Baldini, L., Brez, A., Latronico, L., ...

We report on the results of a new, sealed, Gas Pixel Detector. The very compact design and the absence of the gas flow system, make this detector substantially ready for use as focal plane detector...

Direct reading of charge multipliers with a self-triggering CMOS analog chip with 105k pixels at 50 micron pitch (2006)

Bellazzini, R, Spandre, G, Minuti, M, Baldini, L, Brez, A, Cavalca, F, ...

We report on a large active area (15x15mm2), high channel density (470 pixels/mm2), self-triggering CMOS analog chip that we have developed as pixelized charge collecting electrode of a Micropattern...

Opening a New Window to Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics: X-ray Polarimetry (2006)

Costa, E., Bellazzini, R., Soffitta, P., Di Persio, G., Feroci, M., Morelli, E., ...

An extensive theoretical literature predicts that X-ray Polarimetry can directly determine relevant physical and geometrical parameters of astrophysical sources, and discriminate between models...
