The INTEGRAL View of the Galactic Nucleus
A. Goldwurm, G. Belanger, P. Goldoni +15
We present the preliminary results of the observational campaign performed in 2003 to study the Galactic Nucleus with INTEGRAL. The mosaicked images obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI co…
INTEGRAL monitoring of the Black Hole candidate 1E 1740.7-2942
M. Del Santo, A. Bazzano, D. M. Smith +24
The brightest persistent Galactic black hole candidate close to the Galactic Centre, 1E 1740.7-2942, has long been observed with INTEGRAL. In this paper, we report on the long-term…
The INTEGRAL LMXRB Monitoring Programme
A. Paizis, T. J. -L. Courvoisier, O. Vilhu +21
Our collaboration is responsible for the study of a sample of 72 low mass X-ray binaries (LMXRB) using the INTEGRAL Core Programme data. In this paper we describe the monitoring pr…
X-rays from Cataclysmic Variables
Erik Kuulkers, Andrew Norton, Axel Schwope +1
Cataclysmic Variables are a distinct class of interacting binaries, transferring mass from a donor star to a degenerate accretor, a white dwarf. We here review X-ray observations o…
Turmoil on the accretion disk of GRO J1655-40
E. Kuulkers, J. J. M. in 't Zand, R. Cornelisse +7
During the 1996/1997 outburst of the X-ray transient GRO J1655-40 the Wide Field Cameras onboard BeppoSAX observed the system with nearly continuous coverage during some stages of…
The longest thermonuclear X-ray burst ever observed? (A BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera observation of 4U 1735-44)
R. Cornelisse, J. Heise, E. Kuulkers +2
A long flux enhancement, with an exponential decay time of 86 min, is detected in 4U 1735-44 with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras. We argue that this is a type-I X-ray burst, makin…
