The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) enables detailed high-energy X-ray observations from 3--79 keV, but its performance can be constrained by telemetry saturation when observing bright sources, leading to reduced effective…

We report a discovery of strong modulations of the X-ray flux detected from IGR J16320-4751 = AX J1631.9-4752 with a period of P~1300 sec. We reanalyzed the data of an XMM-Newton ToO performed soon after the discovery of the source by…
