Since its launch on October 2002, the INTEGRAL satellite has revolutionized our knowledge of the hard X-ray sky thanks to its unprecedented imaging capabilities and source detection positional accuracy above 20 keV. Nevertheless, many of…

We present preliminary results on our campaign of observations of the X-ray binary pulsar GX301-2. BeppoSAX observed this source six times in January/February 1998: at the periastron and apoastron, and at other four, intermediate, orbital…

ESA's hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL is covering the 3 keV to 10 MeV energy band, with excellent sensitivity during long and uninterrupted observations of a large field of view (~100 square degrees), with ms time…

We have performed observations of the blazar S5 0716+714 with INTEGRAL on 2-6 April 2004. In the first months of 2004, the source had increased steadily in optical brightness and had undergone two outbursts. During the latter, occurred in…

INTEGRAL is an ESA mission in fundamental astrophysics that was launched in October 2002. It has been in orbit for over 18 years, during which it has been observing the high-energy sky with a set of instruments specifically designed to…

The author reports a result of an interferometric observation of the semiragular pulsating star with an unusual narrow molecular line profile, X Her, in the CO J=1-0 line with the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland array. In the CO spectrum, a…

We report observations of SMC X-1 in three new high-intensity states with ROSAT HRI in December 1995, May 1997, and March 1998 in which pulsations with a period of 0.70769+/-0.00006 sec, 0.70706+/-0.00001 sec, and 0.706707+/-0.00001 sec…

We have investigated multiband optical photometric variability and stability of the H$\alpha$ line profile of the transient X-ray binary IGR J01583+6713. We set an upper limit of 0.05 mag on photometric variations in the {\it V} band over a…

We present the spectral and temporal analysis of the 2004/2005 outburst of the transient X-ray pulsar V0332+53 as observed with Integral. After the discovery of the third cyclotron line in phase averaged spectra (Kreykenbohm et al 2005,…

The high-mass X-ray binary and accreting X-ray pulsar IGR J16393-4643 was observed by NuSTAR in the 3-79 keV energy band for a net exposure time of 50 ks. We present the results of this observation which enabled the discovery of a cyclotron…

We investigated the long-term evolution of the cyclotron line energy, as well as the relationship between cyclotron line energy and luminosity in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1, based on archival Swift/BAT monitoring from 2005 to 2024…

We present the international collaboration MINE (Multi-lambda INTEGRAL NEtwork) aimed at conducting multi-wavelength observations of microquasars simultaneously with the INTEGRAL satellite. The first results on GRS 1915+105 are encouraging…

We present a detailed study of the high mass X-ray binary Vela X-1, using observations performed by Insight-HXMT in 2019 and 2020, concentrating on timing analysis and spectral studies including pulse phase-resolved spectroscopy. The…

Long uninterrupted observations of the X-ray binary system Her X-1 were performed with the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope of the Spectrum-R\"ontgen-Gamma (SRG) X-ray Observatory in the 4--25 keV energy range with a total exposure of…

eROSITA (extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) instrument onboard the Russian-German `Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma' (SRG) mission observed the Her X-1/HZ Her binary system in multiple scans over the source during the first…

Scans of the Galactic plane performed at regular intervals constitute a key element of the guaranteed time observations of the INTEGRAL observing programme. These scans are done for two reasons: frequent monitoring of the Galactic plane in…

In the past few years, a new class of High Mass X-Ray Binaries (HMXRB) has been claimed to exist, the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXT). These are X-ray binary systems with a compact companion orbiting a supergiant star which show…

The INTEGRAL mission has played a major role in blazar science, thanks to its sensitive coverage of a spectral region (3-100 keV) that is critical for this type of sources, to its flexibility of scheduling and to the large field of view of…

GRS 1915+105 is being observed as part of an Open Time monitoring program with INTEGRAL. Three out of six observations from the monitoring program are presented here, in addition to data obtained through an exchange with other observers. We…

For the very first time, we report the high frequency analysis of Cyg X-1 up to hard X-ray using SPI on-board INTEGRAL. After analyzing the possible contribution fromthe background, and using INTEGRAL archive from March 2005 to May 2008,…
