In this paper we present INTEGRAL observations of 7 AGNs: two newly discovered type 1 Seyferts, IGR J18027-1455 and IGR J21247+5058, and five well known Seyferts, NGC 6814 (type 1.5), Cyg A (Type 2), MCG-05-23-16 (type 2), ESO 103-G035…

Using the latest 70 month Swift-BAT catalog we examined hard X-ray selected Seyfert I galaxies which are relatively little known and little studied, and yet potentially promising to test the ionized relativistic reflection model. From this…

IGR J17091-3624 was discovered in 2003 April by INTEGRAL/IBIS during its Galactic Centre Deep Exposure programme. The source was initially detectable only in the 40--100 keV range, but after two days was also detected in the 15-40 keV…

The unidentified source IGR J16328-4726 was covered with INTEGRAL observations for a long period (~9.8Ms) and was undetectable for most of the time while showing a very recurrent micro-activity with a duration from tens minutes to several…

Aims. In this paper, we searched for multi-wavelength (X-ray, optical and radio) counterparts to the unassociated gamma-ray sources (UGS) of the Fermi 4FGL-DR4 catalog. The main goal is to identify new blazars and/or new active galactic…

We present a NuSTAR, Chandra, and XMM--Newton survey of nine of the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). The unprecedented sensitivity of NuSTAR at energies above 10 keV enables spectral modeling with far better precision than…

Analysis of INTEGRAL Core Program and public Open Time observations has recently provided a sample of 60 extragalactic sources selected in the 20-100 keV band above a flux of 1.5 10^-11 erg/cm2/s. As this band probes heavily obscured…

We report on the identification of a soft gamma-ray source, IGR J17204-3554, detected with the IBIS imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The source has a 20-100 keV flux of ~3x10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 and is spatially coincident with NGC…

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 searched for X-ray serendipitous sources in over 370 Swift-XRT fields centered on gamma ray bursts detected between 2004 and 2008 and observed with total exposures ranging from 10 ks to over 1 Ms. This defines the Swift Serendipitous…

IGRJ17361-4441 is a hard transient recently observed by the INTEGRAL satellite. The source, close to the center of gravity of the globular cluster NGC 6388, quickly became the target of follow-up observations conducted by the Chandra,…
