The IBIS imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite, thanks to the large field of view and good sensitivity, gave us a unique opportunity to search for possible 511 keV point sources either previously unknown or associated to known objects such…

This paper is the second in a series devoted to the hard X-ray (17-60 keV) whole sky survey performed by the INTEGRAL observatory over seven years. Here we present a catalog of detected sources which includes 521 objects, 449 of which…

This is a manual for the MOSiC package. MOSiC is a collection of IDL programs for profile analysis and Gaussian fitting of the Mg II h/k lines along with Gaussian fitting of the C II 133.5 nm line pair, the O I 135.6, the Cl I 135.2, the Si…

In order to allow for an efficient and flexible scientific analysis of data from the SPI imaging spectrometer aboard INTEGRAL, I developed a set of analysis executables that are publicly available through the internet. The software is fully…

Three calibration campaigns of the spectrometer SPI have been performed before launch in order to determine the instrument characteristics, such as the effective detection area, the spectral resolution and the angular resolution. Absolute…

ESA's INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) was launched on 17 Oct 2002 at 06:41 CEST. Since then, it has been providing long, uninterrupted observations (up to about 47 hr, or 170 ksec, per satellite orbit of 2.7 days)…

Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) on the International Space Station (ISS) has two kinds of X-ray detectors: the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) and the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC). SSC is an X-ray CCD array, consisting of 16 chips, which has…

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…

We present results from the first on-sky demonstration of a prototype astronomical integrated photonic spectrograph (IPS) using the Anglo-Australian Telescope near-infrared imaging spectrometer (IRIS2) at Siding Spring Observatory to…

The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, i.e. the INTEGRAL satellite of ESA, in orbit since about 3 years, performs gamma-ray observations of the sky in the 15 keV to 8 MeV energy range. Thanks to its imager IBIS, and in…

INTEGRAL/SPI is a coded mask instrument observing since 2002 in the keV to MeV energy range, which covers the peak of the $\nu F\nu$ spectrum of most Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). Since its launch in 2008, Fermi/GBM has been the primary…

We derive the spectra of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) and of the Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) in the ~20-200 keV range from the data of the IBIS instrument aboard the INTEGRAL satellite obtained during the four dedicated…

The INTEGRAL Soft Gamma-Ray Imager (ISGRI) is the first large CdTe gamma camera ever built. It provided faultless operations in space since the launch of INTEGRAL in October 2002. A general presentation of the system is given with…

We report here an all-sky soft gamma-ray source catalog based on IBIS observations performed during the first 1000 orbits of INTEGRAL. The database for the construction of the source list consists of all good quality data available from…

The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) is one of three science instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The IRS comprises four separate spectrograph modules covering the wavelength range from 5.3 to 38micron with spectral resolutions, R \~90…

The INTEGRAL Burst Alert System (IBAS) has been developed to detect and locate in real time the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) serendipitously observed by INTEGRAL. The IBAS software runs automatically at the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre (ISDC),…

We present the new energy calibration of the ISGRI detector onboard INTEGRAL, that has been implemented in the Offline Scientific Analysis (OSA) version 10. With the previous OSA 9 version, a clear departure from stability of both W and…

Impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (ICISS), which is a variation of low energy ion scattering (LEIS) that employs large scattering angles, is performed on Bi2Se3 surfaces prepared by ion bombardment and annealing (IBA). ICISS…

The acronym IBIC (Ion Beam Induced Charge) was coined in early 1990's to indicate a scanning microscopy technique which uses MeV ion beams as probes to image the basic electronic properties of semiconductor materials and devices. Since…

During the first observing run of LIGO, two gravitational wave events and one lower-significance trigger (LVT151012) were reported by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration. At the time of LVT151012, the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics…
