“…The international gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL was launched by the Russian launcher PROTON from the Baikonur cosmodrome in the high-apogee orbit on October 17, 2002 (Eismont et al 2003). The payload includes four principal instruments which allow one to carry out simultaneous observations of sources in the X-ray, gamma-ray and optical energy range (Winkler et al 2003).…”

Abstract. We present the broadband phase averaged spectrum of one of the brightest intermediate polars V1223 Sgr, obtained with INTEGRAL and RXTE observatories (3-100 keV). Good statistical quality of the spectrum in a hard X-ray energy band (INTEGRAL/IBIS and RXTE/HEXTE) allowed us to disentangle contributions of a direct optically thin plasma emission and a reflected component to the spectrum of V1223 Sgr. The obtained measurement of the post-shock temperature of the accreting matter give us the information about the mass of the white dwarf and the inclination of the system.

“…The international gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL (Winkler et al 2003) was placed in orbit by a Russian Proton launcher on October 17, 2002 (Eismont et al 2003). It carries four instruments: the SPI gamma-ray spectrometer, the IBIS gamma-ray telescope, the JEM-X X-ray monitor, and the OMC optical monitor, which allow the emission from astrophysical objects to be analyzed over a wide wavelength range.…”

Abstract.We present spectra for 34 accretion-powered X-ray and one millisecond pulsars that were within the field of view of the INTEGRAL observatory over two years (December 2002-January 2005 of its in-orbit operation and that were detected by its instruments at a statistically significant level (> 8σ in the energy range 18-60 keV). There are seven recently discovered objects of this class among the pulsars studied: 2RXP J130159.6-635806, IGR/AX J16320-4751, IGR J16358-4726, AX J163904-4642, IGR J16465-4507, SAX/IGR J18027-2017 and AX J1841.0-0535. We have also obtained hard X-ray (> 20 keV) spectra for the accretion-powered pulsars A 0114+650, RX J0146.9+6121, AX J1820.5-1434, AX J1841.0-0535 and the millisecond pulsar XTE J1807-294 for the first time. We analyze the evolution of spectral parameters as a function of the intensity of the sources and compare these with the results of previous studies. c 2004 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".

Hard X-ray bursts detected by the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory in 2003–2004

Abstract. All of the observations performed with the IBIS telescope onboard the IN-TEGRAL observatory during the first one and a half years of its in-orbit operation (from February 10, 2003, through July 2, 2004 have been analyzed to find X-ray bursts. IBIS/ISGRI detector lightcurves total count rate in the energy range 15-25 keV revealed 1077 bursts of durations from ∼ 5 to ∼ 500 s detected with a high statistical significance (only one event over the entire period of observations could be detected by a chance with a probability of 20%). Apart from the events associated with cosmic gamma-ray bursts (detected in the field of view or passed through the IBIS shield), solar flares, and activity of the soft gamma repeater SGR1806-20, we were able to localize 105 bursts and, with one exception, to identify them with previously known persistent or transient X-ray sources (96 were identified with known X-ray bursters). In one case, the burst source was a new burster in a low state. We named it IGR J17364-2711. Basic parameters of the localized bursts and their identifications are presented in the catalog of bursts. Curiously enough, 61 bursts were detected from one X-ray burster -GX 354-0. The statistical distributions of bursts in duration, maximum flux, and recurrence time have been analyzed for this source. Some of the bursts observed with the IBIS/ISGRI telescope were also detected by the JEM-X telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory in the standard X-ray energy range 3-20 keV.PACS numbers: 95.85.
