Abstract

Here we present a search for new microquasars among the sources detected with the INTEGRAL satellite (IGR sources). We focus on radio emitting IGR sources and report the discovery of two new probable extragalactic sources behind the galactic plane, as well as the detection at higher energies of the ASCA source AX J1639.0-4642, probably a new microquasar in the Galaxy and coincident with a high-energy gamma-ray emitting EGRET source.
