We report on the first census of INTEGRAL/IBIS detections ($\gtrsim 4\sigma$ significance) above 100 keV based on the Core Program and public Open time observations up to April 2005. There are 49 sources detected in the 100-150 keV band of…

The soft X-ray and soft gamma observations of the new discovered TeV sources by HESS and MAGIC are crucial to discriminate between various emitting scenarios and to fully understand their nature. The INTEGRAL Observatory has regularly…

The 0.5-150 keV broad-band spectra of a sample of nine bright type 1 Seyfert galaxies are analyzed here. These sources have been discovered/detected by INTEGRAL and subsequently observed with XMM--Newton for the first time with high…

We present the analysis of the first observations of the Cygnus region by the SPI spectrometer onboard the Integral Gamma Ray Observatory, encompassing ${\sim}$ 600 ks of data. Three sources namely Cyg X-1, Cyg X-3 and EXO 2030+375 were…

We detect dipping activity/modulations in the light curve of the four LMXBs in the 3--10 keV and 20--40 keV energy ranges. The spectral parameters derived from the fits to the INTEGRAL data are consistent with hot coronal structures in…
