During the period Aug.23-Sept.24 2003, the INTEGRAL observatory performed an ultra deep survey of the Galactic Center region with a record sensitivity at energies higher than 20 keV. We have analized images of the Galactic Center region…
The INTEGRAL satellite has been successfully launched in October 2002 and has recently started its operational phase. The INTEGRAL Burst Alert System (IBAS) will distribute in real time the coordinates of the GRBs detected with INTEGRAL.…
Context. In coded mask techniques, reconstructed sky images are pseudo-images: they are maps of the correlation between the image recorded on a detector and an array derived from the coded mask pattern. Aims. The INTEGRAL/IBIS telescope…
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…
Thanks to the INTEGRAL satellite the way of looking at the hard X-ray sky above 20 keV has changed substantially. Through the unique imaging and spectroscopy capabilities of the IBIS instrument that has formed the basis of the INTEGRAL…
In this paper we report on the fourth soft gamma-ray source catalog obtained with the IBIS gamma-ray imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The scientific dataset is based on more than 70Ms of high quality observations performed during the…
The Imager on Board the Integral Satellite (IBIS) is one of the two main telescopes of Integral, the ESA soft gamma-ray mission to be launched in 2002. The Integral Core Program will be divided into two main parts, the Galactic Centre Deep…

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…
During the Core Programme, INTEGRAL has surveyed a large portion of the sky (around 9000 square degrees); although INTEGRAL is not optimized for extra-galactic studies its observations have nevertheless given us the opportunity to explore…
The INTEGRAL satellite is an observatory-class gamma-ray telescope due for launch in early 2002. It comprises two main instruments, one optimised for imaging (IBIS) and the other for spectroscopy (SPI). The PICsIT telescope is the high…
SPI, the Spectrometer on board the ESA INTEGRAL satellite, to be launched in October 2002, will study the gamma-ray sky in the 20 keV to 8 MeV energy band with a spectral resolution of 2 keV for photons of 1 MeV, thanks to its 19 germanium…
