Unveiling the nature of INTEGRAL objects through optical spectroscopy. VIII. Identification of 44 newly detected hard X-ray sources

N. Masetti, P. Parisi, E. Palazzi +17

(abridged) Hard X-ray surveys performed by the INTEGRAL satellite have discovered a conspicuous fraction (up to 30%) of unidentified objects among the detected sources. Here we con…

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…

Hard X-ray properties of magnetic cataclysmic variables

S. Scaringi, A. J. Bird, A. J. Norton +10

Hard X-ray surveys have proven remarkably efficient in detecting intermediate polars and asynchronous polars, two of the rarest type of cataclysmic variable (CV). Here we present a…

Discovery of the orbital period in the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J17544-2619

D. J. Clark, A. B. Hill, A. J. Bird +3

The supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) system IGR J17544-2619 has displayed many large outbursts in the past and is considered an archetypal example of SFXTs. A search of the I…
