ISGRI: the INTEGRAL Soft Gamma-Ray Imager
F. Lebrun, J. -P. Leray, P. Lavocat +21
For the first time in the history of high energy astronomy, a large CdTe gamma-ray camera is operating in space. ISGRI is the low-energy camera of the IBIS telescope on board the I…
INTEGRAL discovery of a bright highly obscured galactic X-ray binary source IGR J16318-4848
R. Walter, J. Rodriguez, L. Foschini +8
INTEGRAL regularly scans the Galactic plane to search for new objects and in particular for absorbed sources with the bulk of their emission above 10-20 keV. The first new INTEGRAL…
IBIS preliminary results on Cygnus X-1 spectral and temporal characteristics
A. Bazzano, A. J. Bird, F. Capitanio +11
We report preliminary results of a broadband spectral and temporal study of the black-hole binary Cyg X-1 performed with the IBIS telescope. Cyg X-1 was the first pointed celestial…
IBIS performances during the Galactic Plane Scan - I. The Cygnus region
M. Del Santo, J. Rodriguez, P. Ubertini +8
The Plane of our Galaxy is regularly observed by the INTEGRAL satellite by means of scheduled scans. We present here results from the IBIS/ISGRI instrument using data from the firs…
First results from the INTEGRAL Galactic plane scans
C. Winkler, N. Gehrels, V. Schoenfelder +12
Scans of the Galactic plane performed at regular intervals constitute a key element of the guaranteed time observations of the INTEGRAL observing programme. These scans are done fo…
INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton observations of the weak GRB 030227
S. Mereghetti, D. Gotz, A. Tiengo +16
We present INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton observations of the prompt gamma-ray emission and the X-ray afterglow of GRB030227, the first GRB for which the quick localization obtained with…
