Scientific paper

Studies of hard X-ray emission from compact galactic sources and extragalactic objects are reviewed which have been carried out in Italy since 1976. The studies include observations of galactic binary systems and peculiar stars, deep surveys of extragalactic sources, observations of the galactic hard X-ray background, and the monitoring of transient X-ray sources, gamma-ray bursts, and X-ray bursters. Attention is given to early balloon experiments, sounding-rocket flights, later balloon experiments with multiwire spectroscopic proportional counters, equatorial balloon flights in India, and an abortive trans-Atlantic balloon flight from Sicily that was terminated over Spain. Some future programs are discussed, including a deep survey of the hard X-ray sky, deep-space observations of single galactic and extragalactic sources, and the development of an imaging telescope for soft gamma-ray astronomy.
