Polarimetry in the hard X-ray domain with INTEGRAL SPI
M. Chauvin, J. P. Roques, D. J. Clark +1
We present recent improvements in polarization analysis with the INTEGRAL SPI data. The SPI detector plane consists of 19 independent Ge crystals and can operate as a polarimeter.…
Separation of two contributions to the high energy emission of Cygnus X-1: Polarization measurements with INTEGRAL SPI
E. Jourdain, J. P. Roques, M. Chauvin +1
Operational since 2002 on-board the INTEGRAL observatory, the SPI spectrometer can be used to perform polarization measurements in the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray domain (~ 130 keV -…
X-ray Pulsations from the region of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient IGR J17544-2619
S. P. Drave, A. J. Bird, L. J. Townsend +5
Phase-targeted RXTE observations have allowed us to detect a transient 71.49 \pm 0.02 s signal that is most likely to be originating from the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J1…
Temporal Studies of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients
S. P. Drave, A. J. Bird, D. J. Clark +6
SFXTs are a new class of HMXB unveiled by INTEGRAL. They are extreme systems characterised by very short outbursts (a few hours) and extreme X-ray luminosity dynamic ranges (~10^{4…
Discovery of the 51.47 day orbital period in the supergiant fast X-ray transient XTE J1739-302 with INTEGRAL
S. P. Drave, D. J. Clark, A. J. Bird +5
Timing analysis of ~12.4 Ms of INTEGRAL/IBIS data has revealed a period of 51.47 +/- 0.02 days in the supergiant fast X-ray transient source XTE J1739-302/IGR J17391-3021 that can…
The orbital period in the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J16465--4507
D. J. Clark, V. Sguera, A. J Bird +6
Timing analysis of the INTEGRAL-IBIS and Swift-BAT light curves of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) IGR J16465-4507 has identified a period of 30.32+/-0.02 days which we…
