Hard X-ray imaging of the Galactic plane by the INTEGRAL satellite is uncovering large numbers of 20-100 keV "IGR" sources. We present results from Chandra, INTEGRAL, optical, and IR observations of 4 IGR sources: 3 sources in the Norma…

The INTEGRAL observatory has been performing a deep survey of the Galactic central radian since 2003, with the goal of both extracting a catalog of sources and gaining insight into the Galactic diffuse emission. This paper concentrates on…

The first INTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (carried out in 2003) are reported in which two sources are clearly detected. The first source, SMC X-1, shows a hard X-ray eclipse and measurements of its pulse period indicate…

IGR J16460+0849 is reported in the 3rd IBIS catalog with the shortest exposure of about 10 ks among all the detected sources, which makes it the most interesting target to be investigated with a deeper exposure. We analyze all available…

In the late afternoon of November 25, 2002 a gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected in the partially coded field of view (about 7.3 deg from the centre) of the imager IBIS on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The instruments on-board INTEGRAL…

Analyzing archival data of the INTEGRAL observatory we discovered and localized a cosmic gamma-ray burst detected within fields of view of the IBIS/ISGRI and SPI telescopes on April 28, 2006. The burst has not been revealed by the INTEGRAL…
