The black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 went into outburst in 2005 June. Rather than fade into quiescence as most black-hole-candidate transients do, it has remained in a low hard spectral state for most of the $\sim$ 9 years after…

On 2011 August 11, INTEGRAL discovered the hard X-ray source IGR J17361-4441 near the centre of the globular cluster NGC 6388. Follow up observations with Chandra showed the position of the transient was inconsistent with the cluster…

XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR$~$J17544$-$2619 are reported and placed in the context of an analysis of archival INTEGRAL/IBIS data that provides a refined estimate of the orbital period at…

We report on the highly variable and erratic long-term X-ray luminosity behavior of the only known accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2000 outburst, as observed with RXTE. The maximum observed luminosity…

We report on the identification of a new soft gamma-ray source, namely IGR J20159+3713/SWIFT J2015.9+3715, first detected by INTEGRAL/IBIS and then confirmed by Swift/BAT. The source, which has an observed 20-100 keV flux in the range…

The Galactic Center black hole candidate (BHC) GRS 1758-258 has been observed extensively within INTEGRAL's Galactic Center Deep Exposure (GCDE) program in 2003 and 2004, while also being monitored with RXTE. We present quasi-simultaneous…

IGR J11305-6256 is one of the numerous sources discovered through the INTEGRAL scan of the Galactic Plane. Thanks to the Swift-BAT survey, that allows the frequent sampling of any sky region, we have discovered in the hard X-ray emission of…

We performed a detailed study of the 2007 outburst of the 352s pulsar SAXJ2103.5+4545, a Be/X-ray transient observed by INTEGRAL, to study its spectral and temporal properties during the evolution of the outburst. SAXJ2103.5+4545 was…

CONTEXT - Transient low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) often show outbursts lasting typically a few-weeks and characterized by a high X-ray luminosity ($L_{x} \approx 10^{36}-10^{38}$ erg/sec), while for most of the time they are found in…

(Abridged) We made use of X-ray observations with the X-ray telescope on-board the \swift observatory to refine the X-ray position to 3-5" accuracy of 12 INTEGRAL sources, so as to further identify their counterpart at optical, infrared,…

Aims: The low persistent X-ray burster source SLX 1737-282 is classified as an ultra-compact binary candidate. We compare the data on SLX 1737-282 with the other similar objects and attempt to derive constraints on the physical processes…

Since the launch of INTEGRAL in 2002, about 300 new sources have been discovered. Understanding the nature of these objects is of prime importance for many aspects of astrophysics, such as the evolution of stars, population of sources…

A significant number of cataclysmic variables were detected as hard X-ray sources in the INTEGRAL survey, most of them of the magnetic intermediate polar type. We present a detailed X-ray broad-band study of two new sources, IGR J00234+6141…

We present a catalogue with the properties of all the bursts detected and localized by the IBIS instrument onboard the INTEGRAL satellite from November 2002 to September 2008. The sample is composed of 56 bursts, corresponding to a rate of…

We present results of deep surveys of three extragalactic fields, M81 (exposure of 9.7 Ms), LMC (6.8 Ms) and 3C 273/Coma (9.3 Ms), in the hard X-ray (17-60 keV) energy band with the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory, based on…

We present the results obtained by INTEGRAL on the Soft-Gamma Ray Repeater SGR 1806-20. In particular we report on the temporal and spectral properties of the bursts detected during a moderately active period of the source in September and…

Aims: We investigate the X-ray spectral and timing properties of the high mass X-ray binary EXO 2030+375 observed during its June-September 2006 giant (type II) outburst. Methods: The data analyzed in this work are from partly simultaneous…

We present spectral and energy dependent timing characteristics of the hard X-ray transient IGR J17497-2821 based on XMM-Newton observations performed five and nine days after its outburst on 2006 September 17. We find that the source…

On 2003 September 17 INTEGRAL discovered a bright transient source 3 degrees from the Galactic Center, IGR J17544-2619. The field containing the transient was observed by XMM-Newton on 2003 March 17 and September 11 and 17. A bright source,…

INTEGRAL made 3 observations in 2003 April of the black hole candidate H 1743-322 during the rising part, and close to the maximum, of an outburst. H 1743-322 was previously observed in outburst in 1977-1978. The source is located in a…
