IGR J16493-4348 was one of the first new sources to be detected by the INTEGRAL gamma-ray telescope in the 18-100 keV energy band. Based upon spatial coincidence the source was originally associated with the free radio pulsar PSR…

AX J1910.7+0917 is a still unidentified source discovered with ASCA and observed more recently with IBIS/ISGRI, mainly noticeable for its rather hard spectrum. We analyzed all the public available data on this source, and we took advantage…

A new type of sources has been discovered by INTEGRAL. These sources are in the course of being unveiled by means of multi-wavelength optical, near- and mid-infrared observations. Among the high-energy binary sources, two distinct classes…

We report the identification of the cataclysmic variable 1RXSJ062518.2+733433 as an intermediate polar. The orbital period of the system is determined to be 283.0+-2 min from the radial velocity variation of Halpha, measured in an extensive…

IGR J09026-4812 was discovered by INTEGRAL in 2006 as a new hard X-ray source. Thereafter, an observation with Chandra pinpointed a single X-ray source within the ISGRI error circle, showing a hard spectrum, and improving its high-energy…

Of the 21 new sources that INTEGRAL discovered up to Feb. 1, 2004, five were detected with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras at earlier times. IGR J16320-4751 appears to be a persistently active X-ray source which hints at a supergiant…

We report here the results of the first Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations of the globular cluster M28 (NGC 6626). 46 X-ray sources are detected, of which 12 lie within one core radius of the center. We show that the apparently extended…

Many of the new high energy sources discovered both by INTEGRAL/IBIS and Swift/BAT have been characterised thanks to extensive, multi-band follow-up campaigns, but there are still objects whose nature remains to be asserted. In this paper…

We present the first results of the observations of the X-ray pulsars LMC X-4, 4U0352+309 and EXO1722-363 performed with the INTEGRAL observatory. The LMC X-4 was investigated during the whole superorbital cycle ($\sim$30 days) and it was…

IGR J01583+6713 is a new transient source discovered by the INTEGRAL/IBIS hard X-ray surveys. Optical observations suggested that it should be a high mass X-ray binary, but its nature is still unclear. We used the INTEGRAL/IBIS data to…

The field containing the candidate High Mass X-ray Binary IGR J01363+6610 was observed by XMM-Newton on 2009 July 31 for 28 ks. A Be star was previously suggested as the possible counterpart of the INTEGRAL source, and although Chandra,…

We present the results obtained from a comprehensive timing and spectral study of two high-mass X-ray binary sources using NuSTAR observations. These two sources, IGR J16320-4751 and IGR J16479-4514, were discovered by INTEGRAL and have…

We present the analysis of XMM-Newton European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) observations of the nova shell IPHASX J210204.7$+$471015. We detect X-ray emission from the progenitor binary star with properties that resemble those of…

IGR J17591-2342 is an accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar discovered in 2018 August in scans of the Galactic bulge and center by the INTEGRAL X-ray and gamma-ray observatory. It exhibited an unusual outburst profile with multiple peaks in…

X-rays in intermediate polars (IPs) originate in a compact region near the surface of a magnetic white dwarf (WD) and interact with the complex environment surrounding the emission region. Here we report a case study of two IPs, TV Col and…

In magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (mCVs), X-ray radiation originates from the shock heated multi-temperature plasma in the post-shock region near the white dwarf surface. These X-rays are modified by a complex distribution of absorbers in…

We report on the first broad-band (1-200 keV) simultaneous Chandra-INTEGRAL observations of the recently discovered hard X-ray transient IGR J17177-3656 that took place on 2011, March 22, about two weeks after the source discovery. The…

A new cataclysmic variable is identified as the optical counterpart of the faint and hard X-ray source RX J0757.0+6306 discovered during the ROSAT all-sky survey. Strong double-peaked emission lines bear evidence of an accretion disc via an…

We report on UBVRI polarimetry of the recently identified Intermediate Polar 1WGA J1958.2+3232, carried out on 2000 August, 4-6 at the Nordic Optical Telescope. Circular polarization was detected in R and I bands with an increasing absolute…

We present a comprehensive analysis of 475 ks (438 ks unpublished & 37 ks archival) XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn observation of a nearby, highly inclined, star-forming, luminous infrared galaxy NGC 3221 through spatial, temporal, and spectral…
